A FRIENDSHIP FOR THE AGES

OUR FAMILY HAS RECENTLY MOVED IN TO OUR DREAM HOME AND OUR DREAM NEIGHBORHOOD. 

(EKKK!! VERY EXCITING TIMES)

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, WE LIVE IN AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD; YOU KNOW ONES WHERE NEIGHBORS STILL COME OUTSIDE AND TALK TO EACH OTHER?

NEIGHBORS THAT COME TO GREET YOU AS YOU ARE MOVING IN, AND IF YOU'RE AS LUCKY AS US THEY FEED YOU TOO!! 

THESE NEW AMAZING NEIGHBORS OF OURS FED US FOR ALMOST THE FIRST WEEK THAT WE MOVED IN, AND I COULDN'T OF BEEN MORE THANKFUL.

WE ARE TYPICALLY ONES TO SAY "NO THANK' OR "THATS SO KIND, BUT PLEASE DON'T GO TO ALL THE HASSLE" 

THIS WAS SO DIFFERENT, WE ARE SO EXCITED TO ECCEPT DINNERS, AND BOTTLES OF WINE AND GOODIES! 

~ TO OUR AMAZING NEIGHBORS IF YOU HAPPEN TO STUMBLE UPON MY BORING OLD BLOG POST, THANK YOU!!!

NOT ONLY FOR THE FOOD BUT FOR BEING SO WELCOMING AND HELPFUL TO US NEWBIES!

ON TO THE GOOD STUFF!! :) 

ONE OF THE SWEET NEIGHBORS TO DELIVER A MUCH NEEDED LUNCH WAS OUR SWEET, SWEET NEIGHBOR; FRANCES.

FRANCES IS 85, ABOUT 5 FOOT 2 AND ALL OF A 100 POUNDS! SHE IS SO CUTE AND A LITTLE FEISTY.:) 

FRANCES CAME OVER WITH HER DAUGHTER IN LAW WHO ALSO LIVES ON THIS AMAZING STREET-

I SWEAR EVERYONE HERE IS CONNECTED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! :)

I OPEN THE DOOR TO THESE BEAUTIFUL LADIES HOLDING THE MOST GLORIOUS BAG OF BUSH'S CHICKEN, AS I OPEN THE DOOR MRS. FRANCES COMES RIGHT IN.

SHE HELPS HERSELF RIGHT TO MY KITCHEN AREA, AND I DIDN'T MIND ONE BIT! 

 AT THAT POINT I KNEW I WAS REALLY GOING TO LIKE AND GET ALONG GREAT WITH THIS AMAZING WOMAN. 

THE FRIENDSHIP MRS. FRANCES AND I SHARE IS FOR ANOTHER DAY AND ANOTHER BLOG POST! :)

DID I MENTION WE HAVE A 13 YEAR OLD SON WHO LOVES TO COOK??  

DID I MENTION FRANCES LOVES TO ALSO COOK??

 WHEERE IM GOING WITH THIS? :)

THESE TWO... THEY TALK ABOUT COOKING NON STOP.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT "GOODNESS KAIDEN COULD LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM MRS. FRANCES. ( HE STILL CAN)

HOWEVER, KAIDEN IS TEACHING HER A FEW NEWER TECHNIQUES TOO! 

FAST FORWARD THROUGH AN AMAZING SUMMER SPENT GETTING TO KNOW FRANCES.

FROM COFFEE EVERY MORNING, TO SHOPPING TRIPS, WINE NIGHTS, AND LOTS OF LAUGHTER;

TO THIS WEEK WHEN I HEAR KAIDEN LEAVE THE

HOUSE AT 7 AM...

ABOUT AN HOUR HAD PASSED AND I DECIDED TO GO OVER FOR MY MORNING COFFEE WITH FRANCES,

ASSUMING KAIDEN WAS MAYBE OUT BACK THROWING A BALL AROUND OR SWIMMING. LOW AND BEHOLD HE WAS OVER AT FRANCES' HOUSE, BAKING... 

THESE TWO HAD BEEN WORKING ON THEIR STARTER AND TALKING BREAD FOR QUITE A FEW DAYS. 

KAIDEN SAMPLING HER BREAD AND LEARNING HOW SHE MAKES HER SOURDOUGH STARTER. 

HE WANTED TO SHOW MRS. FRANCES HOW HE MADE HIS SOURDOUGH BREAD; AS SHE WAS INTRIGUED BY THE PROCESS IN WHICH HE MAKES HIS.

( SHE SAYS HIS IS TOO MUCH WORK!)  

ASIDE FROM COOKING, KAIDEN IS SO GOOD TO FRANCES.

HE IS A TRUE GENTLEMEN WHEN IT COMES TO HER. 

IF SHE IS OVER AT OUR HOUSE, HE WILL WALK HER HOME WHEN SHE LEAVES. WHEN SHOPPING

HE WILL CARRY HER BAGS, OR PUT HER CART BACK. HE OPENS THE CAR DOOR FOR HER WHEN SHE IS BOTH GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR.

HELPS HER WITH HER CELL PHONE WHEN SHE CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT.

WHENEVER HE COOKS, HE INVITES HER OVER OR TAKES HER OVER A PLATE OF WHAT HE HAD MADE. 

HE TRULY MAKES HIS MOMMA PROUD! :) 

I DECIDED TO SNEAK MY CAMERA BACK OVER WITH ME TO FRANCES' HOUSE TO CAPTURE

SUCH AN UNLIKELY

AND

UNCOMMON FRIENDSHIP.
