It was a total surprise to me that our home might be featured on a house tour. I heard the vehicle on the street, and then it seemed to be circling around the side. I saw it from the back porch and ran to the deck at the side of the house. There it was! The driver seemed very familiar, and I knew the voice of the tour guide. I took a quick photo of the outfit as it drove around the edge of the property.
The driver was none other than neighbor Bob, and he pulled up with a flourish below the deck. Normally that would have accommodated tourists wanting to photograph the house, but he paused for me to record the event. Logan was the tour guide for his nephew Sufi. Bob acknowledged me; Logan waved, and Sufi studied the house intently. He was not ready to commit himself to approval without further scrutiny. Bob’s Tours had made its first historic stop.
If any of you want to book a tour, please let me know. Rates are competitive, and I can guarantee you an excellent discount.

Does it come with a cake that your grandson made?

You’d need to order cake ahead of time. Nathaniel made Brownies yesterday — rich, fudgy ones.

I made brownies too! I like them cakey but these got very moist and fudgy in the middle.

We voted for fudgy this time. I’ll take chocolate in any form. Bet yours were delicious.

There is no bad brownie! (unless you burn it)

John’s dad would have eaten it burned. He claimed to like burned cookies, too.

A few years back when the granddaughters were here, I bought one of the cookie packs in the refrigerated section that you put on a cookie sheet and bake. Already mixed and all. I thought it would be fun without all the mess. We burned them. The tops never browned but the bottoms blackened. We threw in the trash! Not a successful activity!

I suppose that was the easy way out — easy to prepare and easy to throw away. What a disappointment!

It was. We are always pressed for time when they are here so I look for easy things.

Do you and John feature in a Star Guide of the area?

I’ll show my ignorance here. I don’t know what a Star Guide is. Whatever it is, I’m sure we’re not in it.

Later I saw Bob holding Sufi as they rode a little tractor up and down the street. Logan was zipping around in his 4-wheeler.

Ha ha, what a beautiful yard you have!

We revel in our yard now. On Long Island our soil was tested, and the lawn people said nothing would grow there. We were thankful for moss. It stayed green and didn’t need to be mowed. There is a lot to be said for moss.
