The Wild, Wet County of Washington
Having decided we could no longer stand Bentonville, the Man and I relocated to Fayetteville. (no offense, Benton County residents. Try to practice a little tolerance here – you know, different strokes for different folks. We don’t ALL have to like the same things). For those of you who aren’t familiar with Northwest Arkansas, Fayetteville is about 18 miles south of the compound Bentonville.
This required yet another grueling round of packing/loading/unpacking boxes and boxes of “stuff.” The packing part was a little easier given we procrastinated and never unpacked 2/3 of our stuff (see previous post). Given that my work days run anywhere from ten to sixteen hours a day, I’m very limited in what enjoyment I get out of my new surroundings but there are a few I thought I’d share:
1. Bill & Tony’s Liquor Store
2. Trees and hills – this is what the Ozarks is supposed to look like.
3. Mid-Way Liquor Store
4. Jason’s Deli just down the street – I rarely cook anymore
5. Liquor Mart & Wine Shoppe
6. Andy’s Frozen Custard – for a second it makes me feel like I’m in Springfield again although I have yet to give into my cravings for a jumbo chocolate cone.
7. Liquor World
8. Our house – it doesn’t look like all the others on the street and we even have room to set up the pool table.
9. Dickson Street Liquors
10. My neighbor – can you believe I finally found someone else here who likes cats?

Glad you like the new place. Can’t wait to see it in a couple of weeks.
