So far, so great!

As many of you know, Nana and Grandpa moved about 1 mile away from us at the first of the year. Their idea was to "Winter" in the desert, "Summer" at their old place, and travel all the while. (According to Grandpa, everyday is a Saturday during retirement - How....Sweet.....It.... Is!)

Anyway, they got moved into the new place, and we have been neighbors for several weeks. It's been fun. We have been over to their place several times for dinner and they have been over to our place several times to watch the kids. (Read between the lines - we go eat for free at their place and leave before the dishes are done because the kids are tired, and they come over here to supply us with free babysitting and unload my dishwasher). Did I mention that it has been great so far?

That brings us to tonight. Nana and Grandpa were on a walk and they stopped by. QB and I were getting ready to fry up some crappie, the house was a complete mess, and the kids were all busy doing what kids do. It was wonderful. Grandpa sat for a minute, Nana was ready to get in and out - not wanting to stay too long for an unannounced visit, and before we knew it they were gone. QB and I loved it.

This is what being neighbors is all about.
