It happened this weekend. We were alerted to it beforehand. While going out to get the Sunday newspaper, I spotted the "House For Sale" sign in our next-door neighbor's front yard. We have been next-door neighbor's for nearly 16 years. Several years ago, I took one of their kids on a roller-blading trek around the block and brought him home with a boken collarbone. I played midnight hockey on Fridays nights with the father. When I moved in, the oldest of their three children was not yet a teenager. Now, all the kids have left home - the reason for putting the house on the market.
The "old" neighbors are moving to a new home that is not too far away. We will still have regular contact with each other. I don't know that I am up to "breaking in" a new family next door, especially if they have children.
