What I like about our neighborhood is that there are so many kids here. We are always running up and down the street to different houses to find the things we need for the games we like to play.
Really, I don’t just have one home, I have at least three or four homes, places where I know I can go at any time of day and join-in whatever is going on. (At least, before COVID.)
