January 15th

This is our neighbor, Lisa. They invited us to their house last minute on Saturday night. There are 2 families on this street from RI. My husband was out working in the yard when we first moved here and suddenly he heard, "Heellooo..." A couple of the ladies were out walking and saw our RI plates! Since then there is about 4 families that get together frequently - nothing fancy just cooking out on the grill or chinese food. I think the benefit of moving to a brand new neighborhood is *everyone* is brand new. People are more apt to be friendly because you have to be. There are no neighborhood cliques.
