No Fence Necessary!

What's that saying about fences and neighbors? Good fences make good neighbors? Tall fences make good neighbors? Good neighbors build good fences?
I'm not sure but I do know that fence or not, we have some great neighbors. The biggest problem with our neighbors, Steve and Jackie, is that they don't live here full-time.
Steve and Jackie, along with their daughter Danielle, call southern California home but happen to have a condo here just a couple of doors down from us. In fact, it was their place where we stayed back in January when our home renovations were wrapping up.
We noticed Steve's big gray truck parked out front the middle of last week and the boys were thrilled to see that their favorite neighbors were back in town. Ben was even more excited to see that they brought their dog Ruby with them! He immediately wrapped his arms around her neck and let her lick him! Too bad he is allergic to dogs because he loves them so much. He was so close to Ruby that he actually ended up with hives where she had kissed him.
Since last week's arrival we have spent time each day either playing outside, going out to dinner, going for walks, or barbecuing with them. And, let's just say, if any of you think you are good at grilling ribs, I suggest you taste Steve's before you make any claims.
We are always happy to have Steve and Jackie in town and are always sad to see them head back home. And we never hesitate to ask them when they will be moving here for good.
