Love Thy Neighbor

Craig and I have lived in our house for 4 years and 2 months. You'd think by now we would know our neighbors, but we really don't.

I'm a bit of an introvert so I'm not one to bake cookies for the neighbors or borrow a cup of sugar. A few years ago the Asian guy across the street asked us to help him carry a piano into his house. I'm glad he asked us because we were happy to help. But, since then we've hardly even said "herro."

Oh, don't get your kimonos in a bunch. I'm just having a little blog fun.

Anyway, once the neighbor boy (maybe 6 or 7 years old) said something to us like "my dad said you two shouldn't be living together." I can't imaging why he would say such a thing. Was it because I went to Utah State and Craig goes to the University of Utah?

Well, that boy and his family moved away and now we have new neighbors that we don't know.

This spring the older couple across the street came over and introduced themselves. They said they were embarrassed they'd lived across the street for 4 years and had never introduced themselves. We told them we were kind of embarrassed about the same thing. Anyway, that was nice of them to come over and we are glad we have at least 2 friends on the street.

Now, to any neighbors that may be reading this, we would be happy to loan you an egg or a cup of sugar anytime. Don't be shy.
