We've lived in our house for over 4 months now, and have met only one neighbor - a WWII vet with a blue star in his living room window. Its surprising that we've only met one neighbor, because our neighborhood is active and we see people walking dogs by our house several times a day. We wave "hi," but we never know who is our next door neighboor and who isn't; consequently, we don't ever really strike up conversation. But last night, we dressed Lily as Piglet and Ben as Pooh Bear, and used them as a conversation starter to meet our neighbors.
Guess what we found out? Everyone knew about us. Everyone knew we had a little girl and were expecting a little boy shortly after we moved in. It is a little disconcerting to have lots of people know about our life situation, and knowing nothing of theirs. I was hoping that someone would make us an apple pie and welcome us to the neighborhood, but no one took the initiative. I guess our neighbors are shy.
6 days to the first Maryland basketball exhibition game. I can hardly wait. The NBA will have to hold me over until then.
