I aint in Kansas anymore.
I knew about 90% of the people in my old neighborhood of 67 houses. I was in charge of the crime watch there. My next door neighbor was Evelyn, who some of you met at the first peepmeet and a river regatta. She is in her 70's, still works, and will try anything..like river tubing and getting her divers cetification. We each had a key to each others houses. She let our dog out, and we helped to pick up her late husband who had a habit of falling alot. I miss my old neighbors.
Now we live in a new community, lots of people in the medical profession. The people on the right are retired..I think...they are not very friendly, the people to the left are asians and we talked only one time..they wanted to see our house after we did the fix-ups.... and asked how much we bought it for..
Nice couple across the street...they seemed the friendliest. She teaches special ed. I offered to volunteer for any big outings..like the fair or special olympics.
Behind us are some Indian families and a Muslim family. I met the Indians, seem nice enough..the Muslims are not interested and keep to themselves...although they had a party a couple of weeks ago and were playing some kind of hip-hop music in another language.
We have a volunteer association..we plan to join. Not interested in joining the country club or playing golf.
This neighborhood is extremely quiet...not alot of loud music from cars passing by..so I guess there's not alot of teens living here.
Now that Sammy has joined the family..we may get to meet more neighbors when we take him for walks.
