Hoops

About a month ago new neighbors moved into a house on our street.  The boys and I baked cookies and made welcome cards to bring over and introduce ourselves.  Naturally, we were hoping for either playmates or babysitters! :)  As it turns out, the original owners just retired from the AF and returned to their home.  They have two grown boys, both off to college. 

They hadn't lived in the house for 8 years and all this time had a storage shed in the back full of some belongings. Included was a basketball hoop.  About two weeks after we introduced ourselves, there was a knock at the door and she told us about the basketball hoop and how she would love to give it to our boys! Wow!  We were touched and grateful!  We placed it in the cul-de-sac and told the kids on either side of us to use it whenever they please.  Lots of fun already!!!
