Welcome!

When we told people we were packing up our suburban life near Baton Rouge, Louisiana and moving to Woodville, Mississippi, we were met with blank stares, puzzled looks and, eventually, the question “Why?'“ This blog documents our adventures and answers to that “Why” each day we spend in our rural community.

Around Town - Lifting the Mood

Around Town - Lifting the Mood

When my days get busy and I’m not able to get out for walks or errands in town, I feel it. I feel disconnected, disjointed, and downright moody. And then I have a day that buoys me.
Just a quick visit to the Tax Assessor’s office today to pay property taxes, and I met new(ish) employee Thomas, who was so helpful and patient. Then on to The Orchard Cafe where I splurged on a piece of lemon pie and chatted for a few minutes with community folks. Last, I stopped at the Post Office where LaTanya pulled my packages before I even handed her the slip with my box #. She always wears a smile! This is #whywoodville My mood is lifted when I interact with its best resources—its people. They make you feel welcome. Always.
