The Neighbors

It’s really nice to get to know your neighbors. Unfortunately, our neighborhood (or maybe just “we”) would never be up to par for Mr. Rogers. I think it’s only been in the last couple of years that we’ve actually met them.

I’ve met a lot of the stay at home women from our walks when I was pregnant with Fulton. Adam meets the men usually when home building projects are taking place. But in general, with the onslaught of the media and the fact that people just don’t go outside anymore, it’s hard to meet the neighbors. (Ok, and yes, summers in Texas are not “going outside” type weather.) It doesn’t help that Adam and I are pretty introverted people.

Anyway, there’s a nice young couple that moved in next door last summer. Coming out of our most introverted shell we asked them over for dinner last month. And we had a great time talking and getting to know each other. Tonight they had us over for a lovely dinner outside on the patio–the weather was great and so was the company.

We are blessed to have some pretty nice neighbors.
