We have somewhat of a routine around here...we do certain things on certain days, and Tuesday afternoons we always head on over to our neighbor's house to visit! Mr. and Mrs. Duncan live beside us and have been so sweet to us (sharing the veggies from their garden all summer long, for example). We enjoy visiting with Mrs. Duncan (and occasionally Mr. Duncan will join us for a minute, but he likes to stay busy doing work).

Today Vivian brought a book and a toy, and I brought my camera.

On warm days, we stay outside on their driveway so the girls can ride tricycles that Mrs. Duncan has saved from when her girls were little.

During the winter months we are inside their home but I'm a little uptight about them messing up their tidy house.

We are getting to know her so well. I love hearing her family history and it's especially interesting to hear her tell stories about the house we're living in and the people who were here before us. When we first moved in, she came over and brought a piece of paper with the entire history of the families who've lived in our house and the years they were here. So cool!

They were next door (they lived in a street car (think: railroad) until they saved enough money to build their current house) before this house was even built, which was 1939. Long time :)

The girls are entirely comfortable with her and it's sweet to watch them interact with her. I am trying to teach them about conversation and sharing their lives with others...so far it's been a blessing for us all and I am very thankful!
