There is a sweet little lady that lives next door to us.
She likes to come outside and chat when she sees us out. She has especially taken a liking to the kids and is fulfilling grandmother duties here in Hickory since we don't have family nearby.
The other day we overheard the following conversation:
Miss M: Allie, when is your birthday?
Allie: Jan. 3.
Miss M: Well, I didn't know you just had a birthday. I would have made you a cake and got you a birthday card.
Allie: Well.....you still can.
Fast forward to the day after this conversation. The doorbell rings and there stands Miss M holding a strawberry cake with sprinkles and a birthday card.
She and Allie have also had conversations about how much Allie likes butterflies. I understand a butterfly house has been ordered and should arrive this week. We also have been invited to an easter egg hunt with Miss M and her family complete with 500 stuffed easter eggs. AAAANND, tonight she brought over chicken and dumplins because she made too much.
We are blessed to have such a sweet neighbor.

That just goes to show you just never know do you?
I remember getting up and looking for Stephen when we had the big snow at Christmas and he was next door shoveling snow off the driveway. I would say they are both lucky to have the neighbors they have.

I'm thinking of forwarding this to all my surrounding neighbors.....think they'll realize I Love Chicken and Dumplins too??
