A generous family in the church has set us up in a nice, cozy little cabin on a hill. It's about the same size as our apartment, two stories, one bath, loft, wide front porch w/swing (as you can see), the ever-important a/c, and Direct TV. It also came with a stocked pantry and a home cooked meal waiting for us in the fridge.
I wish I would have taken pictures that day. It was very surreal. The sun was setting, the grass hadn't been burned up by the heat... the place dripped with charm. It still does.
What you don't see in this picture are the many walking paths that surround the place. As soon as I get us ahold of some boots, we'll go explorin' 'em. Sadly, they were left behind.
Charleston is a quaint little town in the Mississippi Delta. We live off of "the Delta Highway", a scenic little road that passes neatly on the border of the hill country and the Delta.
We actually live on the hill side (hence the cabin on the hill) off of a red dirt road:
A good portion of the hill country is overrun by kudzu, a vine not native to the country with the amazing propensity to transform ordinary pieces of land into something out of a Dr. Suess book:

One of the ladies down there (or maybe more than one) has a recipe for kudzoo jelly. I can't remember her name, but she is an artist, has really curly hair, and I think she has horses. Ask around for it and you can make some use of all that green.
