Good Neighbors

A good neighbor-a found treasure.

-- Chinese Proverb


We have been blessed with great neighbors. Right next door is a little boy just a few months older than Eli and a little girl a couple of years older than Phoebe. Their parents are the kind of neighbors everybody hopes to have when they move to a new house. They host Back To School BBQ parties. They bring you a giant basket of cookies when you move in. They have family movie nights in their basement. They carpool and end up driving more than their fair share (or, at least, this year they have). They forgive your son when he SHOOTS OUT THE PICTURE WINDOW WITH A BB GUN.

And today they took my son golfing.

In 25mph wind.

I'm pretty sure they earned a few extra jewels in their crowns today. I think they feel a little sorry for Eli. He loves to golf, even owns his own set of golf clubs, but he has a dad who soooo doesn't love to golf and a grandaddy who lives out of town. Mr. Neighbor has a putting green in his back yard and a soft heart. So Eli got to golf.

Like I said, we have great neighbors!
