New neighbors

Much of the rest of blogland seems silent, but you know you can’t expect me to be quiet for long. Not that there is much exciting going on at the moment. However we did get our new neighbor’s yesterday. It’s quite a change from having a lady my age next door for the past thirty-six years.

The new couple who have moved in are babies! I believe the wife is younger than Mollie! They have a two or three year old son and a month old daughter. The wife’s younger sister, maybe twenty, will be living with them also. Grandma, about my age, I think, is going to stay for a month while they get settled.

We met in the yard, before they actually moved in. Mollie, Nick and I went over. I told them I hadn’t wanted to bother them so soon, but I couldn’t resist when I saw the little ones. I spoke with the grandmother again the next day. They were waiting, in the intense heat, for the young couple to sign the papers and  return with the key. I invited them in to keep cool, but she said they would be there with the key in just a few minutes. We also met the dog, who seems very quiet and got along well with Mollie’s dog. Everyone seemed friendly and I’ll go back in a day or two with a welcome basket.

What else is going on? Hmmm … cleaning for the big reunion we have every year. And toward the middle of next month is the Art Festival. I’m really looking forward to that. I ordered more books. I’m probably being overly optimistic on the number I’ll sell, but it was still so exciting to open the box!

I miss my blogging buddies here. If you get the chance pop in and say something just so we’ll all know you’re alive and well. Don’t think you always have to be on topic – I never am! But I love to visit anyway.
