We're back, baby!

Beaufort Waterfront

I've been meaning to write a post on how glad I am to be back in NC for a while, and I think the car accident I was involved in today (I wasn't driving, and I'm fine) manages to roll all those reasons into one:

Immediately after, while we were both sitting in the intersection blinking:

• A Marine jumped out of one car and ran to the other car involved in the wreck (it was upside down)
• One lady came up, made sure we were both ok, and escorted us to the side of the road
• Two more ladies ran up to tell us they were praying and it was going to be ok
• All the cops/firemen/EMS techs involved were courteous and came up multiple times to make sure we were ok

Also, last week while I was standing in the middle of the aisle in a bookstore, three teenage girls wanted to get past me AND ALL THREE OF THEM SAID 'Excuse me".

That would never have happened in Florida, no matter what age they were. I am so glad to be back in the South!! I know NC has its problems...but man. Feels like home!
