Won't you be my neighbor?


My mom has an incredible ability to befriend strangers. If she had a Facebook account, she definitely would have over 500 friends. Instead she has an unorganized spiral index card notebook with phone numbers and addresses of random strangers that she meets on her travels.

A couple of years ago, my mom befriended our Vietnamese neighbors down the street and ever since then has kept in touch with them. On her afternoon walk with Luca, she returned with a gift from their amazing garden. Can you believe the size of this thing?!? My mom and Dominic made a delicious stir-fry with the squash and beef while the twins watched from their bouncers.
