Back in 1994 when my parent bought their home, the only welcoming gift they got was a basket of fruit from their real estate agent.
The neighbors sort of ignored us, and possibly even hated us when we first moved in.
I was expecting the same sort of unwelcoming committee the day we parked out U-Haul in the driveway....however after just 48 hours we had already met 2 neighbors, and gotten 2 welcoming gifts. I had never felt more welcomed anywhere in my life, and they were still strangers!
The first gift came from the older woman next door, Lorrene, she brought over a package of Halloween themed cookies, which were fabulous, and a nice large container of crackers and cheeses.
The following day, the neighbor across the street brought over warm homemade bread!
Yup... I love it here! I feel like I stepped into a scene in some movie... where everything is perfect... what is the catch?!
