My parents have an old beat up pick up truck that I love to drive. I feel so happy when I'm driving that truck with country music on the AM radio. We went out to the farm today and I got to drive the truck across the fields to pick up my mom from where she was dropping the tractor off. I turned on the radio, breathed in the crisp fall air, and felt truly content.
The weather has been beautiful today - that perfect kind of autumn cool that almost warms you... and when your bundled in sweatpants and a nice cozy sweater or sweatshirt, you feel like you have never been more comfortable. I took a walk down to the coffee shop this morning and delighted the whole way in the beauty of the air and the falling leaves.
I've been going the coffee shop just about ever day now to study for the GRE that I plan to take shortly. I usually don't get a whole lot of studying done there, but I love observing the local towns folk who are the most unique mix of farmers and French. Most people around here are farmers, yet they are all fluent in French and very French in their culture. I'm still trying to figure the whole scene out, so I just sip on my coffee and watch everyone.
I'm really beginning to like it here. I'm getting used to the slower pace of life and am definitely enjoying Mom's cooking. We just had a huge meal of pizza, popcorn, homemade soup, beer, and icecream! Sitting here curled up in my pajama pants and favorite jacket, I feel like the words to that Kenny Chesney song "Never wanted nothin more".
