Friends this will be a quick post and without the typical pictorial elaboration but this weekend we have enjoyed "Community" here in our new neighborhood this weekend. Much credit goes to Walter Henegar of Atlanta Westside for helping us understand and embrace the concept of Community. We have only been in the car twice which is a lovely change of pace vs a former life in a state south of here :)
Friday night we witnessed some local football action walking to our neighbor Patrick Henry High for the game. The kids enjoyed it and despite the two point loss we had a fun time remembering what the Friday night game is like.
Saturday morning we biked down to "The Village" for the weekly farmers market and to the Roanoke Natural Foods Co-Op to pick up some local goodness(don't get me wrong I still had to make our weekly Kroger run for the preservative laden non-local foods). Saturday evening we were able to walk to dinner with some lovely neighbors at Local Roots and enjoy adult time developing new friendships.
Sunday is always a nice time with our church family and we are excited to see the band growing: Ed is 1 of 6 guys on stage vs 3 now! This evening we were able to bike to our home group gathering via the Roanoke Greenway in about 5 minutes time. Ed has been getting a workout pulling the kids in the trailer and they are getting used to "weekend commute" via bike! We are excited to see what our week brings as Ed is planning a mountain bike ride, a guys brewing group(aka Monday Night Brewing for those that know that story) and a potential date night potluck Thursday.
So we are moving on....moving deeper into home here in the Roanoke Valley. I trust you have had a moment or two of such joys this weekend yourself.
Isn't a great neighborhood the best? Chris got a new vehicle Friday night and we had a full day out of the house yesterday via bike - he is a little sad we haven't driven it yet.
