Our next door neighbors are wonderful. We call them Paul and Mrs. S, which isn't actually their names but privacy and all that. She is a retired elementary school teacher and he restores and collects gorgeous antique cars. They have a beautiful lawn, which they let the kids wander through a bit, and they are incredibly kind to my kids. Ben especially loves them and whenever he sees that they're outside he asks if he can do over.
Today he made them a picture. On it he wrote, "To Paul and Neighbor Lady. Ben."
I can't stop laughing about it.
I've been collecting these for a couple weeks. Lots of good reads here, friends.
