Meeting the Neighbors

Montgomery, Illinois, is a really nice place to live. Where we live, there's a real sense of community, and not just a bedroom community.

From our backyard, we can see Gamble's new school between the houses, and we have met quite a few of the neighbors, who come from all walks of life, and who have all been very welcoming.

Block party for the neighborhood is this Saturday.

But the real kicker was the other night. At nine o'clock at night, the doorbell rings. I go to the door, hoping it's someone to pick up the free boxes we've unpacked and get them out of our hair.

Nope.

The next thing you know, I'm going to the pantry to get a single slice of white bread to help a couple of kids - a brother/sister team, possibly - with their scavenger hunt.

How cool is that?
