It might be a new record
We moved into this house just a week ago...Last Saturday we hauled our stuff here and started getting settled in...This morning, Brian is fixing the flat tire - and a stray kitten wanders up to say 'hi'...Seven days, and stray kittens are finding us...Actually, I think this MIGHT belong to our next door neighbor, we saw an adult cat a few weeks ago that looks a lot like this kitten, so I HOPE it belongs next door...plus, its a very friendly kitten, which means it probably belongs to someone...Brian took her/him back outside to continue helping him with the tire...
We are heading to Austin to work on the house and yard...I'll be heading up there each day to keep things watered and alive...it's going to be 100 all this week and it doesn't take long for the grass to wither in that kinda temp...August/Sept is the hardest time of year here, its just brutal...But, I'll be working on beads in the afternoon, so you won't have to go too long w/out another Blackberry fix...
We found the local paper yesterday, its printed once a week and they even print local birthdays...Its such a hoot...we found some local auction houses and are learning more about the town...We are really enjoying living out here, the slow pace and friendliness is fantastic...I noticed in the grocery yesterday that there is a huge wall of meat - chops, steaks, roasts - these folks out here know how to cook meat! In Austin, our local grocery had a tiny section of meat, mostly hamburger...I told Brian we need to learn how to cook, cause the steaks were amazing...And the folks in the store like to peer into your cart to see what you're buying and then smile and talk to you...i'm not used to small town living, but apparently your business is their business too...!

Donna, it sounds like you two are settling into the country life just fine - yessirree! When I go back to Nebraska to visit my Great Aunt, its the same thing - people are just sooo friendly! So different from California. Not to say there aren't friendly people here of course, but you know what I mean - its different.
