I’d say there are definitely no kids of walking age next door and that there are 4 adults at the very least, possibly one infant. Yesterday and today would be perfect for sending your toddlers outside on their swings yet no one’s touched them. I guess Tom was right when he said he thought they were set up for when the baby gets older and for visiting kids. Let’s just hope the animals don’t visit too often, although most of the year they’re not going to want to be out swinging if they do. I doubt they’ll even drive through there when it snows, though I haven’t seen anyone do that yet today.

When we walked by yesterday on our way to the pizza place, we saw a van and a car with two women on the deck. Someone was in the van, too. Coming back the van was gone and the one that appears to have had a baby recently that we’ve seen a few times was sitting on the front porch swing talking on a cell phone. Again, I’m so glad the porch, deck and drive aren’t just a few feet away! I think the house across the street may actually be closer to theirs than this house.

It’s so cool today that I can’t believe it’s virtually August! I’m going to need to pull out my comforter tonight for sure and maybe even run the portable heaters early in the morning. I’m surprised how quiet it’s been for being so much cooler. I only heard the dog go off a couple of times, and a few rounds of car doors from Kim. It’s a little early for our street attention-getters, but we’ll hear them.

The fruit diet is leaving me hungry, but boy is it making me beyond regular!

Got a letter from Mary. It was a 6-page letter. In the first 2 pages, she talked of being moved again. This time it was to a huge dorm which she described in detail. The rest was all a bunch of religious mumbo-jumbo, and you know me, I don’t try to change them, I just try to ignore them. So as mean as it may sound to some folks, I’m not even going to answer. And I don’t care if she doesn’t read my future stories.
