The Americans

We STILL haven't met the two Americans who moved in next door. On Sunday, Iain and I were out on the deck when we heard them come home with their dog (a lab - how original). They hung out in their backyard for a while, eventually going inside but leaving their door wide open.

Iain said, "Should we walk over and say hello?" Trying not to look too obvious, we started wandering around our front yard, discussing plants and weeds, casting the occasional glance up to see if the neighbors came out, allowing a well-timed, "Oh! Hey there!"moment. I was even wearing my Obama shirt -- it was perfect!

Well, the guy walked out onto the porch, saw us, and went right back inside and shut the door. Ok, that's not exactly what happened but it felt like it. Iain thinks I'm probably reading too much into it but I'm not convinced. Stay tuned!
