our neighbor

we have a neighbor who lives a few houses down from us who must be in her late 80s. i may be wrong but i think she has lived on this block her entire life. she lives alone and still drives and loves talking to the kids. today she told us that miles' school used to be at 25th and utah. she told us when she went there she and the other boys and girls would walk home every day for lunch. she also told us that there was an ice cream parlor on bryant street and that she and her sister would walk over with empty milk bottles and would get them filled up with milkshakes for 10 cents. miles was impressed. maya is always especially polite with our neighbor and today told her that it was movie night and we were going to watch go diego go.

imagine living on this block for 80 years. maybe we should invite her over for tea sometime. i'll think about it.
