What's yours like?

We've been living in this neighbourhood for 20 years now.
The longest either of us have been in the same home.
Our house was being build while we lived in a different location so long drives commuting, planes, phone calls and frustrating times were all part of that previous year.
Then came the move and now we don't have jobs anymore, we're here all day, what do we do - will you quit the latest project and sit down and rest.
It's been memorable in many ways.
The neighbourhood may be the same as many others but in our before lives we were gone to work during the day or on shift work, and lived in a different climate so we didn't hang out or know many of the neighbours.
We didn't know many of their names, their dogs, kids or much else.
Even our dog at the time didn't help because she didn't like to go walking.
We did though have 2 of the best people close by that became dear friends.
Living here we get to notice more changes. A few leaving and new owners come, babies, little kids moving in and growing up, learning to ride their bikes and gather with friends.
Lots of dogs out getting their daily walks and people too.
It's our time now to witness what a neighbourhood is, can be and enjoy watching it grow up.
Some day we will need to move on and let someone else take over our home but we will take with us lots of great memories of our many years here.
Memories are easy to take with You & share,
no packing required.
A gift from a neighbour. |
Which spelling do you use where you live - neighborhood or neighbourhood ?
It's a beautiful morning as the sun comes up over the trees. Yesterday morning at my outside Tai Chi class there were several hundred geese flying overhead. I love to wish each group safe travels as I feel sad that they don't know about the fires they may come upon. We have a tie so far for top spot on my Summer of Music posts. Week 1 & 4. both wonderful as are all the others. Great videos for you to relax with anytime. Have a great day and week, Dona.
