I love that the kids meet on the hill for sledding every time it snows. I love that my girls can run back and forth to their friend's houses. I love that I can yell across the street for an egg if I am on short for the brownies I already started! But you are very right that living in a neighborhood has drawbacks as well. I am always aware of our noise level since our next door neighbors like peace and quiet and strive to live a zen-like life. Ha! There is no "zen" in my house right now! The next time I get annoyed with dogs barking, or our very own Mom-driving white tahoe careening though stop signs on her way to drop off a carload of kids, I will be thankful we no longer are standing at the crossways knowing with certainty we would never step one toe over the edge until she has barrelled through. This is our first ever not-back-to-school week and I love it.LJS https://www.blogger.com/profile/00557549680551581746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538241948601936882.post-41730952640935818952010-09-02T23:05:44.458-07:002010-09-02T23:05:44.458-07:00Ok, I love reading this... not only because I agre...Ok, I love reading this... not only because I agree and understand what you're talking about, not only because I know you and love you, but because I am totally jealous that you are such a terrific writer! You took a simple moment and made it beautiful. Thanks for that. Hugs friend!<br />Love, BeckyRebekah Lindenmayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252956419842164914noreply@blogger.com
