As ironic as it sounds, yesterday morning we were packing up about to head home and were approached by several neighbors we had not had the opportunity to meet. The best way we just found out to meet people is to have your driveway surfaced! When we come back in July we are going to host a "wine" down Wednesday on the lanai. I hope everyone here lives life they way they want to and fully enjoy even the little things such as acts of kindness. We always try to pay it forward!

it seems that as we age the only thing we have, that still grows, is conservatism, don't mistake the walters as grumps but rather those who are being asked to change and fear it. once you are a 'known quantity' people will warm up. I still enjoy waving to everyone as I drive thru the most beautiful hometown in america.
