small town life

I used to watch a show called Murder, She Wrote starring Angela Landsbury (how do you spell her name?) as a retired teacher now mystery writer named Jessica Fletcher.  I thought she led the greatest life, most notably because she lived in the jazzy town of Cabot Cove,Maine.  My friends used to joke that since I too was an English teacher I just too easily identified with her.  Anyway, despite the odd number of murders that cropped up in that little town, Cabot Cove seemed like a great place to live (TV producers never showed snowy weather that I can recall -- it always was summer or fall).  Anyway, to a certain degree I have my own version of Cabot Cove right here in the fort.

Yesterday I was taking my morning walk.  On my way back, some neighbors pulled up in their mini van and invited me to go for lattes.  I was more than willing to join them.  Once I got in the car, we drove two houses down and picked up another neighbor.  Arriving at our destination, we met more people from the community.  It was good fun with nice people on a chilly day in the neighborhood.

And no murder to investigate.
