The neighborhood where we moved last month is practically a throwback
to when I was growing up. The kids play outside - a lot of street
hockey and basketball in driveways seems to be the predominate outdoor
activity. And even the DH was surprised at how friendly the neighbors
are. He's lived in SoCal for 40 years and says this is the first time
neighbors have come around to introduce themselves - even brought
houseplants and cookies. Heck, I almost keeled over when I realized
that the music I was hearing came from an *ice cream truck*!!! Hadn't
seen an ice cream truck in *years*

Heck, I seem to be married to the scariest thing on the block: a
lawyer!
