Growing up we always had great relationships with our neighbors.  Aunt Loretta (a neighbor since the time I was born) made Eric’s baptism gown.  Then my family moved and we met Art.  He was a wonderful neighbor too…ask my friends who would leave a party to sit and have a beer with him-only to learn that he wanted us to turn the music up because he couldn’t quite hear it at his place!

When Kevin & I married we did not expect to have the same experience.  I mean, we didn’t expect trouble, but we also did not think we would find a babysitter, snow removal system, fish feeder and general maintenance neighbor to help us out whenever needed!  Our neighborhood is great we are so glad to be part of it!

The most recent thing Al asked is if he could teach Eric to skate…

here is skating lesson #1:

I think Al looks as happy as Eric!
