Keeping it simple

Today I will be talking to a group of seniors.  Perhaps they will not be reading this blog, but they are the inspiration for this particular blog entry.  In fact, many people who were born before the 1950's may tell you all kinds of neighbouring stories just because of the circumstances they lived through.  Once a senior told me a story about the house they built but it was when they retired (late 90's); it had a place for coffee and tea in the front yard so they could meet and talk with the neighbours as they walked by.  She was still intentional about neighbouring after all those years. I was amazed! She taught how to simply make neighbouring part of her life.  This front yard led to many conversations with neighburs and many life connections.  Thanks Mom!
