This past weekend we got together with our old neighbors from Alabama Avenue. There were four families that used to live on the same block and all but one have moved on to their next home. We gathered at the home of the family still remaining on good ole Alabama Ave and it was fun for us to drive by the old house. As usual the flower boxes were empty and the grass needed mowing (does he ever mow the lawn?!), but apparently he has sold the house and will be moving. Hopefully the next owners will put our beautiful flower boxes to good use. . .
We had such great time catching up with everyone as the last time we all got together was two and a half years ago. So needless to say there was much to talk about. . . and while we adults have all aged just a little over the past two years, our kids have grown leaps and bounds. It is amazing to see them all play and interact together. It makes me think of how awesome it 
would have been for all of us to stay in the neighborhood and watch our kids grow up together. If only the houses were a little bigger and the yards a little larger. . . but we just didn't have room to grow in the old house. We live in a great area now, but we miss the old hood with the great families that we once lived just steps away from.
