Hillsborough

Jeffy has a thing for random small towns.  When driving through one, he usually talks big like the plans to move there are in the works. He likes to point out the street he will live on, where he will have his office, etc.

We were in Homer, Michigan a few years back.....a very small one-stoplight town...eating dinner. After dinner, Jeffy thought he heard a football game. It was Friday night, so he (and we by association) set off to find it. As we neared the game, a local was walking our way.  Jeffy asked him, "Who are they playing tonight?" The guys said the name of another rival town, indicating that Homer was losing to them. Jeffy's response: "Oh, they're always tough."  As nonchalantly as if he's gone to every Homer football game for the last ten year. What a goober!

So, we headed out to see what Hillsborough, NC had to offer while Grandma and Papa were here this weekend.


Calvin loved the walking and talking big with Papa, and Jack loved taking in the sights at his own pace. It was sweet to watch Jack meander behind us stopping to look carefully at flowers, knock on shop doors, and stare at people on bikes.





I am so thankful for jeffy's quirky and loving influence on the boys....and us!

  1. Awwe! That town is a sweet little one...Ellis and I used to bike there all the time when we lived near Duke. Those flowers Jack was smelling are the ones I imagined having if we lived there, probably near Jeffy's imaginary office. And Jack's haircut looks really good! Thus ends my comment speech.
