My neighbor is AWESOME!!

So, the good thing about all of this is that the people here are sooo nice.

Pam, my rental agent, took me on a 2 hour tour of the area: the beaches, the grocery store, Tim's sausage, the churches. For a small town, they have a LOT of churches, but I think that's a good thing.

Shannon, my downstairs neighbor, brought me some leftover shake-n-bake with garlic noodles.  She had just made them and had one left.  OMG...I haven't had shake-n-bake for at LEAST a decade.  YUM!!  I then brought her some of my fave Trader Joe cookies and she made me a rum and V8 splash.

Yesterday, she had a "housewarming" BBQ.  I joined her and met some of the locals.  They were really nice and very welcoming.  We also played a drinking game...lol.  I haven't done that since college.  I guess that's normal for a small town, but it was a lot of fun!!

Shannon just got back from a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan, so she's really excited about being close to friends and family again. :)

Plus, she said she'd be willing to trade a shower or two with a bath.  Ha ha :)
