A Last Gathering for a Great Neighbor. Retired from Teaching and Heading Away from Connecticut. Dog Lover - She Will Be Missed

I grew up in Cherry Heights on Amalfi Drive, so neighbors were essential for the way we lived. They were ubiquitous with stores, rituals, friendship, and support. In adult life, neighbors aren't as prevalent, but Deb has been consisted. She watches out for me and I watch out for her and her mom.

So when she announced and early retirement and departure, I was a little upset. Her backyard is Karal's go-to location. If Karal gets out, she immediately flies over to Deb's backyard to play with Buckey. Veterinarians are moving in next door, but we like our Deb and our trust of one another. 

She's New Hampshire bound...no taxes, a news space, and closer to her own family. Thankful for Chitunga and Jeff for helping to throw the lil' party to wish her the best. We shall see what comes next.

It's Monday. I have medical appointments and a warehouse of work needing to be done. Great weekend, predictions of rain for a new week, and excitement that the weather is changing. 

Sad to see Deb leave, as she's been a staple on Mt. Pleasant since we arrived. Nothing sits still for long, though.
