Crestview, our Austin neighborhood, is very akin to Mayberry. I haven’t met Barney Fife yet, but there is a Floyd the Barber.
Our local IGA and pharmacy have been there in the middle of our neighborhood for eons. You’d never know the existed if you didn’t live in this part of town (they’re not located on a major street). We have a fabulous Little Deli, and a civic-minded neighborhood group that really watches out for the ‘hood.
Last weekend was an Ice Cream Social. We missed it in ’07, but this year we braved the 100º heat to meet people and be social. There were plenty of kind old folk who were fun to talk with, and lots of new families. We met neighbors from down the block, and the kids enjoyed the band.
If you have time, check out our Flickr account for more images.
The next day was a social of our own. We had the Hills and Thompsons over for a kiddie pool date and some refreshments. Good times all around – it was nice to meet new old friends.
The kids love their new sand and water table. Thanks Grandpa Joe and Grandma Karen S.
Sawyer is a pretty cool dude and played well with the kids.
Have a nice weekend, friends.
It is so weird to see them standing there not holding on to anything! But I guess that is what happens when they start walking!!
They run!
Crestview is a great community! If we would have stayed in Austin, that’s where we wanted to move, but you guys got the best house, so where would we go? Probably Allandale. But, ya never know.
Come on back, we’ll find you a place.
