Neighbors

Our neighborhood is changing quickly. First one family, the adventurers that are going to New Zealand, have sold their house and moved. Then our next door neighbors are leasing their house as they go to Delaware for a couple/few years.
Kristen, our neighbor, loves Murphy and learned over the last few months how well treats work in attracting him over! Now she says she wishes she had learned that earlier!!!
Anyway, she will sit and be with Murphy for long times. Here's a picture that represents the mood to me.

Ice Cream

Dessert before dinner was how our neighbor, Julie, described this! What fun, with her kids Ben and Leah bringing us ice cream cones and delighting us with their 'kidness'. Of course, when you are their parents, kidness may not be all that much fun for you, but as pseudo-grandparents (or something like that), it is much fun for Diana and I.

And the kids are great subjects with very expressive faces. Ben had some trauma yesterday but he seemed to have recovered and was as lively as always.
