It was a warm sunny day and everyone was outside.

We walked along the pond and met Sandy's new adoption: a white Labrador hound puppy mix from TN. Then we met up with the family whose introverted daughter is going to art school.  We talked about introverts, art, Autism, Temple Grandin, dogs and the wife's nail polish. On the way back I met the couple who bought the favorite house. It turns out we know them from Ethel Street. It was a joyous moment because we loved them and never knew where they had moved! Then we saw Billy of the Mashed Potato House and he told me the story of their youngest reading my story about her aloud at the table at dinner. It doesn't get any better than this, I told him.
