Things I'm loving in Bluffton...

There are many things I'm loving about living here. These are the first things that came to mind...

People walking past and stopping for a while to chat

Weekly community meal with friends

Weekly frisbee that is fun even for women and people who don’t run so fast anymore

New Zealand friend who became a feminist at 14

Friend who taught me a beautiful song that Patty Shelly wrote when she was 18

Friend who invited me to start a new business with her

Walking and biking everywhere

$3 movie theater

Watching soccer games

The raspberries growing in the garden (that our landlord planted)

The swiss chard that Bobby lets us pick from her garden

Playing, watching the rain, and reading on our front porch

Lots of people who Theo is comfortable staying with

The large Saturday Farmer’s Market

What a great list! It sounds like you are making it your home! Speaking of, what does the "A lovely home that will probably become ours this summer" refer to? Are you moving again?

We ended up renting here because we couldn't find a house that seemed right. A couple weeks ago we heard about someone who is moving next summer and we went to see the place and loved it. We haven't discussed price yet, and there are a few things we need to check out first, so it's not a sure thing. But it's the first house we have both loved instantly.
