Friendly neighbors

Today I am grateful for our neighbors. We have a quiet street with very few kids but with very nice retired or elderly couples. We have become good friends with several of them, and everyday Tanner listens for the barks of their dogs and runs to the window to say hello. After taking Ethan to school, it's our routine to see if the dogs across the street are outside. They are almost never out but Tanner always says "doggie" so we look anyways. We also feed the fish of another elderly couple down the street, usually several times a week and they give us oranges from their tree. They love the boys and watch for them each day. It's nice to know if I needed something during the day I have a few people on the street that are usually home and would happily help.
