I have fond childhood memories of visiting with our nextdoor neighbors, John and Alice. They treated us like their own grand children. My best memory is going over for tea and getting to pick which tea cup and which spoon I would use for my tea. What wonderful people. They touched my life in a profound way and taught me about caring for others at a very young age.
