All Things Boles

I had a taste of the “good life” yesterday at Lizard’s house.  Parker, Bailey and I spent the morning with her and the boys and it just felt so GOOD.   The kids adore each other and I love the heck out of my home slice Liz.  We need to make the effort to do it more regularly.  The 25-minute drive isn’t that big of a deal, but gee, wouldn’t it  be incredible to only have to walk next door??

I love where I live.  My neighbors are beyond rad, and cul-de-sac living is just about as good as it gets.  That said, I can’t help but wistfully imagine what it would be like to have my best friend live right next door .  We would have an “open door” policy between our two homes…kids would play together every day, we would have picnic lunches together in the backyard,  spending time together when there is NO schedule.  Just  leisurely hanging out, chatting, watching the kids be kids, cooking meals together, waiting for the husbands to get home, and handing over kid-duty the millisecond they do…  Wistfully, wistfully.
