Good Friends and Good Neighbors

Friday was a day for good friends. Pi and Kreely stopped by for the day in their migration from Texas to Washington. We had lunch, a round of disc golf, dinner, and lots of fun visiting. It was definitely something that bears repeating. Maybe next time we’ll take our horde of children and invade their hometown. If nothing else it sounded like they were considering going to Penguicon. It would be very good to have familiar friends at that event.

Today was the day for good neighbors. The house behind ours finally sold to a wonderful family. They have four kids who are near perfect matches for ours in age. They share some of our interests and in all respects bode really well for being long term good friends. To simplify the kids playing we took down a section of the fence and now all the kids have free run of both yards. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I needed to pull up a patch of lawn to create a larger vegetable bed. It turns out that they had a patch of dirt which needed sod. The patches were almost the same size. Today they rented a sod cutter and we pulled sod from my yard and laid it in theirs. I am so glad I didn’t have to do the work with a shovel, they are really glad they didn’t have to buy sod. Everybody wins. Only now I’m stiff and sore and exhausted. Sod is very very heavy. And the more of it you lift the heavier each piece seems.

    The Schlock couch has tried to eat kreely in the past, but she’s always managed to evade. Raif, however, gets stuck.

    Sandra, you and Howard are most welcome to come visit. We’d have to consider accomodations, but I’m sure we could come up with something.
