Ready to Roll

We haven't met all our neighbors yet. Several, but not all. Our neighborhood looks like any 1970's California suburban neighborhood as far as style goes. It's nice, clean and pretty well maintained. You really can't learn much about the people living in the houses from looking at the houses.

But this house always makes me chuckle and wonder as I drive by. Still haven't met these folks yet.



What does it say about you if you own 3 station wagons? And what can one conclude about a person or family that backs all their station wagons in? Why is the Catalac in the middle? Why keep the Oldmobiles if you never drive them? I've never even seen the people who live there, so I have nothing but their cars to tell me about them.

It's probably too late in the season for a neighborhood BBQ. Wonder if I'll ever get the chance to meet them. Maybe when the boys have to sell something . . .

Too funny, I feel like in Utah you know all your neighbors because you go to church together, but just not the case anywhere else!

Hi! I just found you on MMB and have to say that this picture is hilarious! A station wagon representing the past generations. Great stuff right there. You're family is adorable. We adopted our 2nd little girl and are going through the process again. Yes, variety is the spice of life. Today I had a long conversation with a friend who just adopted, and she's having a hard time connecting. I reminded her it has only been 2 weeks, but I remember that...though I didn't worry about it. I knew it would come. And it will for her too. It's fun seeing other "mixed" families so full of love and...family-ness.:) Love your blog!

Halloween! Go trick or treating over there. We all need an update on these people now (speaking for fellow readers of your blog).

Yes, trick or treat there! It makes me think of the Brady Bunch! Maybe Alice will answer the door.
