Now for the exciting part, my mom is moving here! She put her house, in Fayetteville, AR, on the market about three weeks ago, and to all our shock and awe, it sold! We thought it would take a lot longer in this market, but life is full of surprises. Fayetteville is next to Bentonville, the corporate headquarters of Wal Mart. When we suffer as a nation, Wal Mart makes bank. So, their local economy is doing well.
It is super sad to leave her house. It is just about my favorite place in the world. Skylar and I were even married in her back yard, which was on two garden tours recently.
Oh well, we are so excited to have my mom near by, and I know Harper is over the moon. Before we know it she will find another fabulous house and plant another crazy awesome garden. Maybe Harper will even help her with this one...
(I stole these beautiful photos from Al's flickr site, they are from our wedding album. Please don't be mad at me, Al.)
That is exciting news Mary! You are going to be so happy to have her so close to you!

Give me a break, Mary! You are one of my best friends, and besides that, you FLEW me to Fayetteville and put me up in a hotel so I could be there for your wedding! Those pix are the least I could do!
Congratulations to and about your mom! Harper and S. Moon are lucky to have their grandma so close! She's gonna be a busy lady with those two!
