things about my new home

what i like about va:
1.very pretty. fall, winter, spring now. today the sunlight on the far leaves in my backyard; last week the unbelievable riot of azaleas. the turn from old dominion onto kirby... like a fairytale road the first time we stumble onto it.
2. i have conquered the highways here! now i hardly remember why i held myself land- and time-locked by the small roads in tx. 495 is like 1709 used to be. relatively unthreatening.
3. church is good. bigger than bcbc, so problems get diluted. God has replaced what he made us say goodbye to.

what i dislike about va:
1. roadhogs. plenty to go around.
2. rude people. or at the very least unfriendly. including the elderly, who you might expect would know better.
3. the diversity, beacuse i secretly suspect that (3) contributes to (2) and (1).
