I just got used to my neighbors--the woman a dental hygienist with beautiful teeth, her new husband a morose and silent man who never came outside except to shoot arrows into a target, and Dillon, a three-year-old tough boy who could already drive a child-sized motorized Jeep around the yard--yes: I got used to them, and even got Dillon to ( Read more... )

It sounds like you blinked and missed the move.

I take it personally when neighbors move! Don't leave me! (Except for the pharmacist's wife who always wanted to gossip about the other neighbors and thought she was a superior being.
