People come and people go but a neighborhood is more than comings and goings. It's a community of people who care about each other and go out of their way to get to know one another. One way that our neighborhood does this is by hosting Welcome to the Neighborhood parties and Christmas Cookie Exchanges. There are other ways too but here are a few pictures from one party where we welcomed Jen, John and Jackson.
These cyber neighborhoods are important too. We make friends and get to know one another over the net. So, grab a cup of coffee and sit and share some news with me. I've got a variety of posts to share with you. Hope you enjoy your visit into my on-line life.
