Friendly Neighbors

We went out for a walk this evening, around the neighborhood. We stopped at the park and let the boys play for a while, then we walked to the firestation and then around the circle and back towards home. We get on the road right behind our house and there was an elderly man standing at his fence with a camera pointed across the street. There was a Jeep for sale where the camera was pointed and I thought he was trying to take a picture and told the boys to stop so they did not walk through it. The man's wife walks up to the fence - "Oh, he is going to take a picture of you. Y'all stop!"

We look at each other and obediently stop. He takes the picture and they say "We saw y'all walking by and it was so cute we wanted to take your picture. Do you have internet? We will send it to you."

Now, I am impressed this man is using a digital camera or a computer, much less internet. Paul gives him his email address and we talk to them for awhile. They were very sweet - the kind you want to stop and talk to regularly - let the kids have anything they want, but you always feel bad about leaving. I felt a little better when he said he had 6 kids, 12 grandkids and 12 great grandkids and they all visit regularly and talk regularly. He also started telling us that the most important thing to teach our children is about God.

They were very sweet, but when we got the "photoshow" they sent us - we just couldn't help but to laugh. He kept saying he was going to send a photoshow and we were wondering what kind of show he would make out of one photo. Well, he did a good job. Paul screen captured the video because it did not provide a download option. So, the video is a little choppy, but it is still funny.
