I met the next-door neighbor and toured her home, "Hi Rest". She has been steadily working on her house since she purchased it 10 or so years ago. She lives in Atlanta and comes to Highlands about twice a month.
Each evening we took a walk through the Mirror Lake community. There are several different walking routes we can take from our little place and I know the ritual of a daily walk will be a favorite time for us.
On Sunday morning we visited First Baptist Church in Highlands as we begin searching for a church family in the Highlands community. It will be hard to visit anywhere else! The small congregation were the friendliest I have ever met. We had a quick lunch and I headed back to Phenix City, leaving Phil behind to continue working on Two Holt. He plans to clean up under the house and around the house, prepare it for painting and then paint it. He will also meet with the contractor to decide which projects he will tackle. It will be three long weeks before I return to Highlands. I'm already homesick!
