Chapter 33

She Says: The most beautiful words.... "Your complete order has arrived".  Monday the rest of the furniture will be delivered by Maryt Rae's and I'll have a comphy chair to put my butt in!

My observation about our new life is the feel of a neighborhood is meant for suburbia. So far this feels more like a hotel, well we do talk to our next door neighbor (but I still can't remember her name, it is written down somewhere). A wave while passing in your car, a brief hello in the hall and maybe a short conversation in the parking lot... is about it. 

Even Koska is getting into it!
But there is a routine... Every late afternoon a couple from the "A" building (we are snobs about living in Buckingham, the "B" building) come down with their floppy hats and floats to bob in the pool. And at dusk a lady from the live and work units comes with her dog (maybe a Spaniel) and her flashlight to walk the sidewalks around the pool, taking the stairs down very cautiously. Me, I am sitting on the porch... So maybe I am the resident, maybe the creepy lady, that no one knows but is always watching. So once again I will, at some point, put up a note in the Buckingham elevator for a meet and greet and maybe after that I will have neighbors.

But we do have a new happy hour family. Not sure if this has anything to do with our urban transition. Went back to Wheeler's for Ede's birthday and felt I had to send Jasmine a text explaining why we weren't at Blue. She replied we were missed and I don't think she was just being nice.

Our Saturday morning has started out in our new normal pattern. I am working on the blog while Jason packs up to go to the gym in his office. I'll head to Whaley Street Market next, maybe venture out of downtown to Rosewood Market. And then stop by D's to say hello to that group then off to the State Farmer's Market. I am going to plant my planters for sure today! Tonight is the last of the summer concert series. Hoping the weather once again miraculously holds out for us.
