I tend to be unconventional on big things but conventional on small stuff. I write thank you notes, I love holiday traditions, and Sundays with family.
great points here, steve. we moved into a transitional neighborhood 2 years ago and while it has its quirks and the neighbors aren't all fabulous, we all get along. it is nice to have someone across the street walk and feed our dogs when we're away. and just a couple nights ago another neighbor came to the rescue when we were digging up a dead tree. you've made me think about all the good stuff instead of my usual rolling my eyes at some of the not so good stuff.
and i could stare at that pretty pretty photo in this post all day. i have fence and garden envy enough that i am even going to click and see who calls that yard home.
