I love seeing the grandkids in the squares and the joy on the grandparents' faces when they're driving around with their grandkids. I also like knowing they're just visiting.

The other day I was weeding a yard and a little girl about 2-3 years old across the street was havng an uber tantrum. My first thought was I was so glad to not have to live in this neighborhood. My second thought was at least they know the little one will be gone soon and not there permanently.

While there are some things for kids to do here, I don't think they would enjoy it on a day-to-day, year-to-year basis. No matter what, it is a retirement community and geared to that -- places close up early (too early in my opinion), people go to bed early, the pace of life is slow, kids will be reported if going too fast or having music too loud. I can't imagine many kids be very happy living here who are over 5.

So, guess we'll all go down in flames.
