the new neighbors are moving more furniture in. the sound of their little girl laughing is nice. max tho-is just going goofy. he isn't used to anyone being there. the house was empty since before we got him. he barks at any sound and it's hard to get him to settle down once he starts up.

one of my other neighbors went to the nursing home to see the lady that owned the house til now. poor lady is in and out of reality and just wants to come back to her home here. i really enjoyed her and her late husband as neighbors. they were special, unique people.she graduated from an ivy league school way, way back when women were not supposed to desire an education.she and her husband had no children and were as close as close could be. after he passed she declined rapidly. it hurt just to see it. now, she's been fairly bedridden and often somewhere far away inside her memories.

now, there's a little girl laughing and life goes on.
