Well, after five PM today, the house around the corner belonged fully to the new buyers. Our friends are fully in their new house down the road – a bit of a ways down the road, really – and the new folks are moving into their old house.
We took the dog – our friends’ dog that we borrow now – for a walk just after six, both to walk her before returning her by seven and to see if the new folks had shown up yet. And, naturally, there were two new cars in the driveway.
They were unloading seemingly random things from their cars, and not really paying any attention to their surroundings, so they never looked up to wave when we went by, which was a bummer. They had a Chewy box, which suggests they might have a dog. (I say suggests, because those are good boxes, and they very well could have just gotten the box from someone else for the sake of packing and moving.) That could be cool.
When we passed by again, on our way home, someone’s mom and, possibly, brother had just shown up. The mom saw me and waved enthusiastically. I waved back happily. My husband told me, embarrassed, to ‘stop waving like I know everybody’. I told him that she waved to me that way first. He was surprised by this revelation that I wasn’t just being totally nutso, but he accepted it, nonetheless.
I’m hoping they’ll be great folks whom we get to know well and who become friends of ours. Time shall tell.
Do you think they’ll have a big moving truck tomorrow???? Supposedly, they’re coming from an apartment, because they only wanted to buy a house in this area. (Turns out she went to the nearby public high school, so I guess she grew up someone near here.) Anyway, hopefully, I get some more fun intel tomorrow(!).
