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.

Madison & Gabrielle

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we told you about local barber Douglas Dixon and his reading program for kids? Well, today I visited just in time to meet his first winners. Madison and Gabrielle are 6 and 7 years old, and they each won Monopoly games and $25 gift cards. I asked what they did to earn such great prizes: “We read all of our books!”

Great job to them and to their mom who is definitely raising some readers! If you would like to donate books for Doug’s reading initiative, message us and we’ll let you know where to send them.
