I was at a neighborhood block party last night and met some new people that I had not met before. Not that its much of a “neighborhood” being as our closest real neighbor is at least ten miles away, we still got to town though, as do many of those who dwell in the mountains here.\u00a0But when I\u00a0go to the town-wide neighborhood street parties, I go\u00a0with\u00a0some reservations. You see, I don\u2019t usually like to be around people I don’t know.\u00a0 You never know what kind of person they are or what they are capable of.\u00a0 However, I do like going to the street parties to hobnob with the few that show up that are my age and share my interests and see what\u2019s going on in their lives that might actually be of interest.<\/p>\n
So it was with quite a bit of surprise that I met a woman about my age who shares the same musical interests that I have, likes the same kinds of movies, television shows and books that I do, and shares my love of animals. So we spent quite a bit of time socializing and she told me to check out her blog when I got home and had a chance to check it out. I did, and I was glad that I did because now I feel like I\u2019ve gotten to know her a little better. I hope we can keep in touch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
