Just a friendly (and I do mean friendly!) word of advice: I'm sure a
"welcome to the neighborhood" basket of muffins would be appreciated. But
not everyone likes it when neighbors just drop by. It worked for Lucy &
Ethel, but I'm not them. LOL Invariably if one of my neighbors drops by
unannounced I'm right in the middle of something. I might be on the phone
or just out of the shower. I appreciate a phone call first. And I don't
appreciate people who assume (heh) just because they live next door we're
going to be best buds.

I make it a habit to call next door before simply dropping by. She has a
glass storm door at the entry to her kitchen. One day I walked up to her
kitchen door to knock without calling first. She was standing at the sink
in her underwear! She didn't seem at all concerned but I was uncomfortable
enough for the both of us!
