As sweet as they are to us, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want us at their church!Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-8089752462616240802011-01-14T15:16:58.347-08:002011-01-14T15:16:58.347-08:00Mom Taxi- Boo!
There was a lot of controversy on ...Mom Taxi- Boo!<br /><br />There was a lot of controversy on our street (what with the yard signage) when Prop 8 was on the ballot. These particular neighbors though - they didn't put up signs and they didn't discuss the matter. I suspect they're not for it, but out of respect to our many gay neighbors, I think they just kept the matter to themselves. <br /><br />Or, perhaps they were secret No on Prop 8ers! That would be sweet. We, meanwhile, had No on 8 signs in our yard facing our other neighbors who had Yes on 8 signs.<br /><br />It was a mess.<br /><br />These guys though? Solid. <br /><br />Jenny - I'm not sure kickball would be as well received by our household. I value the state of my windshield much higher than that of, say, a red bouncing ball flying at my face, but still - yes. We aren't joining any organized religions with enthusiasm any day soon, eh?<br /><br />SO glad you got your Box O Random and that you're actually enjoying the contents. Fun! Gherkins in martinis? GIRL - you are a genius.<br /><br />Worthless Sack - #1 Funny name. I like. #2 We probably won't ever move because we love our neighbors so much. All of them except the one shitty house of meanies. #3 Happy Delurking!

What is even cooler though, is he is a bus driver/pastor and she is a teacher, and they have a gay adult son who they love and adore.<br /><br />Pretty much all my neighbors up and down the whole block are the same way, homeowners trying to be decent to each other (it's a rare pocket of neighborliness in a not-so-nice part of down).<br /><br />I wouldn't trade my neighbors for anything, and will sorely miss them when they/I ever move.<br /><br />Love your blog, btw.

Used the gerkins in our martinis. Havent had the heart to crack the tomatoes yet!!! LOVED IT, made my x-mas!
