drop-in neighbors.......

ok, so i envy those people fortunate enough as to have drop-in neighbors........especially as fine a drop-in neighbor as dropped in whilst i was visiting with my friend, the mother of the l.o.........what a pleasure to spend a brief hour or so with 2 engaging, talented, and ever-so-liberal women who (whom) i never get to see enough of........good wine, good conversation, good treats/eats......amazing what one can talk about that has not already been blogged, especially among friends......i live such an insular life out of the mainstream..........my neighbors in the semi-country are basically hermits, my mother included........and there is absolutely no socialising with people who do not even keep a porch light on at night.......and so it is a special occassion for me to spend a few hours with ladies who have known me through my children since Montessori preschool.........so few things to explain to those who know so much of what counts already........a rare pleasure.....one that i hope to repeat.......
