I love hearing about this special place…and I think of it often, as we near the end of Brent's AF years and wonder what the future will hold for us. A life in a village sounds so up our alley. Thanks for the encouragement to be brave! Also. I just love your door.

It all sounds wonderful!!!<br />We too made the move from town suburbs to country lane in the Uk and have never looked back. Not the community that you have, it is very quiet here, but still a peaceful and wonderful place to be with a few good neighbours and friends.<br />Enjoy and be thankful!!!<br />Gill xxgillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-61474590626314326872016-05-28T15:45:43.020-04:002016-05-28T15:45:43.020-04:00I am so happy for you!I am so happy for you!Penny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-54342288035236455512016-05-27T22:37:26.367-04:002016-05-27T22:37:26.367-04:00How wonderful that you have found your place.

She is one town away but it is a different world. I could live where you do in a heartbeat, too. However, that being said- I am called to the ocean-to be near it and feel the sand and hear the waves rushing the shore. As soon as hubby is well that is where we are headed -at least for part of the year.<br />God bless you, Jen. I am SO glad you took that leap of faith and went where your heart told you to go. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-59141170903875560742016-05-27T13:46:20.868-04:002016-05-27T13:46:20.868-04:00Thanks for the inspiration- living a life of grati...Thanks for the inspiration- living a life of gratitude is truly priceless and having a heart at peace-again, you cannot measure its worth!
