My friend Patricia mentions that I have "great neighbor karma." Off the charts she thinks--and I have to agree with her.
My first great neighbors were at my condo complex where people always helped me and left cookies on my door step. Hey, come to think of it--my new neighbors leave me tuna fish and potato chipsand chicken pot pie--(OH MY) too. These foods are some of my favorites.
Today, we had a little adventure. Usually when we hang out at our respective houses, but today the kids (the 18th year old girl and the 13th year old boy) when out to breakfast at O'Rourke in Middletown, CT. The diner has been on Diners, Drive-in and Dives and its a personal favorite of mine as I went to Wesleyan University (1989 Graduate) and they have a omelette named for graduates.
The 13th year old had a burger and when it was placed in front of him didn't talk to any one of us at the table until he was finished. His eyes it up when I asked if he wanted another one. The 18th year old, her mother and I talked as we ate and had a delightful time. the three of us are very honest--its why we get along. We tell the truth as we see it.
Then, we went to NORA for cupcakes and we decided to take them home...although I'm sure the 13 year old would have sat in the store and ate one with a large cup of coffee. I would have joined him.
Oh, and I received a surprise from them on Monday...a large basket of purple flowers. The mom--Audrey was thrilled and happy and I know I am loved--what more can you want from your neighbor who has turned into a great friend?
