We've been home now for two weeks. It's been a busy two weeks with all the normal stuff to do after being gone all summer and re-adjusting to the hood.
Re-adjusting to the hood took a few days. All the noise, lights, people, dogs (mean looking ones-whether they are or not) is very different than where we were staying in CA. It's good though. I don't think it's good to get too comfortable in a certain setting.
Our neighborhood has changed some. I don't know if it's all happened while we were gone or if it happened more slowly over the winter/spring and we just didn't notice because we're in the house more. Anyway, it's changed (new people, more mean-looking dogs). It's exciting to see what's happening and to meet the new people in the neighborhood. There is a very young couple who moved into the once boarded up house next door. I've prayed a long time for whoever was going to buy this house. We are going to get along great! Jen is a runner (Yippee!!) and they have a 2 1/2 year old who likes Pooh and Dora- Willy's going to love her!
While I was walking the other day, I saw:
- a diverse group of young kids playing soccer in the street
- the beautiful stain glass windows of a nearby Catholic church
- a young couple near the river watching the sun set
- a family fishing together
- a huge, fat city squirrel in a large tree (they didn't have large trees where we stayed)
- flowers in bloom everywhere (I missed flowers out west)
- people everywhere
I missed being in my neighborhood. I love here!
