7.6.12 - Little Things: what's making me smile this week

 

 

 


 Daddy Daughter Time - Daddy's been taking Luau to the pool lately. Sometimes I go with them, but sometimes I stay home and rest. During the 15 minutes of adult swim per hour, they sit together and watch things. Adorable. They really love hanging out together.

Pick one for you and a friend - This is my neighbor. Very very cool. They're some of the nicest neighbors ever and never hesitate to come help us when we have a question about our newborn (wife is a former pediatric RN) or military retirement or gardening questions (husband is very handy and retired military).

Too cool for school - She insisted upon wearing the sweatshirt (you know, because it was a chilly 85 that morning). She's got a personality and plenty of it!

Hugs for Mama - After my OB appointment on Monday, we sat on a bench and had a snack. She kept coming over to me and giving me hugs. What a sweet girl!

'Merican Flag - Our girl loves to point out 'merican flags when on walks or driving through town. We made a few of these flags for decorations when we had people over for the 4th of July.

Rocky Road - my latest craving. Sorry for cheating on you, Ben & Jerry. I'll be back, I promise!

Why I love our neighborhood...

Not only does our neighbor have beautiful flowers that have made me smile for months... but they also put out a sign saying to take some to a friend. And then they even included scissors to cut the flowers. CO thinks it's not an accident they're from the midwest (like his wife) :)

Dear...

Dear neighbor #1,

It was great to meet you yesterday. Sorry it had to be under these circumstances. Thank you so much for jumpstarting our car. I really had no idea what I would have done without you. Also, we hope that we can all hang out this summer around the pool.

Sincerely,
Your grateful neighbor



Dear neighbor #2,

It's exciting that you're working on your condo. That should help us all, pushing up all of our property values. We're excited that you're getting it done quickly. Please, though, we really do value our sleep, and hope that you would stop using your circular saw after 11pm (2300 hours if you're military). I think it might help the world be a better place.

Sincerely,
Your tired neighbor



Dear drivers in this town,

I know, I know, Earth Day was less than a week ago. We're each trying to do our part to save the environment. But choosing not to use your turn signal does not really conserve that much energy. Especially when you're driving in your Hummer or Tahoe. Also, when you cut someone off, it's polite to wave and pretend you are grateful for me not hitting you. Just a thought.

Sincerly,
the girl in the XTerra.
