I have to say that we starting to really enjoy life in the slow lane. Our backyard neighbors are really quiet and the neighbors on the rest of the block are not much noiser.
We have a double garage, a large driveway, and could park a motorhome in front of the house (if we needed to) . . . which is a huge contrast to hipster Ballard where, at certain times of the week, required us to park two blocks away.
Our neighbors on the circle here, held an open house to welcome us and two other couples who are relatively new. We now have faces to match with about half the names on our block watch list. Again, very different from our previous urban life where we knew maybe six people on the block.
We still have moments of missing some aspects of former life, but we each new contact, each new outing, I feel greater happiness about the fit of this location and our stage of life. (and who knows, I might even do some pictures at some point??)

Yeah! Pictures! Can you see the cemetery from your place? Do you have a safety plan in place in case of undead uprising?
