I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.....

I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. So, let's make the most of this beautiful day....Since we're together I might as well say....Won't you be, won't you be, please won't you be my neighbor?


Last night when the girls and I got home from the downtown Third Thursday event the neighbors tiny poodle came running over to greet us. Lily was super excited, so we traipsed over to meet the neighbor and her dog Maggie. Tom met this neighbor the first day we moved in. They were super friendly and brought us a plate full of freshly baked cookies. Last night was the first time that the kids and I had met the woman, Candy.

I think Candy and Lily have already developed quite a friendship. Candy was so sweet to the girls and when she found out that Lily was an artist she invited Lily to bring her artwork over anytime. She told Lily she would love to hang some of her artwork on her refrigerator. That was all it took for Lily. She came right inside the house and put together a lovely drawing for her new friend. She then ran right over to her house, knocked on the door and delivered the gift.

I have a feeling that that is the start of a beautiful friendship. Lily loves being with adults. She loves creating and sharing her art. And from the looks of things, Candy feels the same way about Lily. This morning we were out the door first thing but as soon as we came home for lunch, Lily was in the basement making something new for Candy....and has already made her delivery for the day.

I look forward to watching this friendship develop. I know that Drew and Julianna will also love having a neighbor that is so sweet and kind to them. I have always wanted a neighbor just like her!
