Whe...It is strange not to know one's neighbors. When we lived on AF bases everybody knew everybody else. It's not quite the same in civilian life. We have lived in our present house for thirteen years (a record for us!)When we moved in there was a family in a house across the road and round a wide curve a bit. I'd always wave as I drove by and they'd wave back but somehow I never got around to taking it further and they both worked so weren't around much during daylight hours. They had a toddler whom I'd see sometimes, playing in the front garden, or on his mother's hip as she got in or out of her car. Recently I noticed that this "toddler" is no longer a toddler, no longer needs to be slung on his mother's hip but rather just needs her to toss him the car keys so he can drive off in the car by himself. My head is reeling. How did that happen? Smoke and mirrors? Needless to say I am belatedly ashamed of myself. Too late now to run over there and offer to babysit or anything helpful and neighborly like that.mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-47816465219799392892014-08-29T06:13:35.967+10:002014-08-29T06:13:35.967+10:00A very large blessing.
