Along a road that looped around and returned to itself, a small settlement of diverse houses seemingly held hands in a grand circularity which formed overlapping land boundaries and lasting family friendships.
Soon after she fugaciously moved into the tight-knit neighborhood, Mrs. Donahue made a permanent impression with her cozy disposition, perfectly manicured property and the tendency to share delectable creations she recurrently cooked.

This sounds so much like my own small town. Do you secretly live in rural Hawaii? If so, let me know. I make killer macadamia choco chip cookies. 🙂

What great neighbours! My parents have always taught me that, “Who you get along with is your family!” This post provides proof towards that sentiment. The mailboxes are precious. As much as I enjoy the spooky suspenseful story for its anticipation, the posts that bring a smile on my face are great to start the weekend! Thank you!

I LOVE THAT:
1) You always paint a picture with your words
and
2) You always (often) “make” me look up a word.
Cheers!
