Another neighbor introduced herself. The conversation was a little odd. A few bits (with things that I would like to have said in italics):
Neighbor: Are you two married?
Us: Yes (NO, we’re living in sin!!)
N: Oh. You make such a cute couple!
Us: Thanks (At least she didn’t say we were ugly. I guess)
Neighbor: Are you enjoying the house? It’s a beautiful house.
Us: We’re still unpacking and getting settled. (No, it’s too small, it’s dirty, the layout sucks balls, don’t get me started.)
N: Well, I know the Smith’s (name changed to protect…) gave you a good deal on the house because they’re very religious people.
U: We see. (So was Jim Bakker)

OMG…I’d change the locks on the doors…just in case.
And get curtains and blinds and shutters for every window.
I hope your neighbors are of the blue-hair crowd

Build a BIG solid fence - and FAST! Glad you are getting settled ok though. I dread moving - UGH - so much work and in this heat too - Take it easy though!

See, you thought it was just my misfortune to live in Revivalville. I should have warned you about the enormous born again population in CA. If I had would you have stayed? I’ll kick myself forever if you say yes.
Have you been to Eva’s yet? It’s in your neighborhood. La and I went there once on a yarn excursion. I recall having bought nothing, but La found some stuff. It’s better than my LYS. Of course, I don’t have one, so there ya go.

I hope this conversation wasn’t with the knitting neighbor.

Can you spell Sonoma? North Bay Area? The only thing you need to worry about up there are the left over hippies from the 60s. Luved the inner conversation. Had me laughing out loud to the point that DS and the Boyfriend came over to read as well!
