Favorites

This is one of our favorites right here and one of the reasons why we love our neighborhood so much - Ms. Jackie. She and her husband have been in their house (just next door to ours) for over 25 years. They keep an immaculate backyard - incentive for us. You can tell the seasons by their yard - when the patio furniture goes to the basement we know we will be seeing a bit less of each other for a few months. When it comes back out, it is time for grilling and sitting and chatting. Olivia loves Jackie and Warren, but she has only recently taken the initiative to go over to their yard. Tonight, I watched through my kitchen window as Jackie lovingly moved back and forth from back steps to patio chairs about 10 times - just because Olivia was trying out all the seating options - I guess to see where her spot will be when she visits.
