We're starting to feel settled in the new house. It's a good feeling. Perhaps it is getting closer with the neighbors. Maybe summer helps. Maybe our trip back to Melrose in some strange way provided closure with the old neighborhood. Today we went to Pine Banks in Melrose for a birthday party and stopped on the old street to see what was up. Pip really wanted to. I had been avoiding it because I thought he'd get too emotional. When we pulled up he quietly said how much he missed the street and his old house. We knocked at David and Elise's and were very excited to find them home. How we miss them! Wonderful neighbors and truly great people. I wish we could have brought them along.
We got to see their new kitchen and check out the street again from a different perspective. I miss the people, but I have to say coming home to our house again felt good. I think we belong here. Seems like we fit right in. Here we are making S'Mores after dinner, just right. Ahhhhh!
