Refreshing

Having just moved into a new neighborhood and not knowing anyone, it’s always kind of nice if someone actually introduces themselves, but having lived in neighborhoods before, I don’t hold my breath. So it came as quite a refreshing moment when a neighbor across the street came up to us and enthusiastically greeted us. But she didn’t stop there - she even invited us to a great lunch and a stroll through the gardens of Reynolda Village and the campus of Wake Forest Univ. Now how nice is that???

Gives one faith in the human race. Think I just might like this neighborhood after all. How about your neighbors? Do you greet new neighbors and invite them over? Something to ponder. Suspect there was a lot of that going on some 70 or 80 years ago. Our modern times keep us all holed up in our little caverns afraid to tread on someone’s turf - damn shame, I say.
