My new friend and her present

As I have been walking through the neighborhood, I have met a few of the little kids. I met a little girl about 2 weeks ago and she was playing on the sidewalk and I asked her what her name was. she told me and Gary was with me. I guess she as alot of people do, think that he is my husband....huh....well today as I was walking she ran out into the road and said Hi Melanie, she said I read a book and a girl had a name Melody, but I knew that yours was Melanie, and she said that she had a present for me. a fluffy white ready to blow dandelion. She said that she like the white ones better than the yellow and gave it to me as a walking present. She told me that she had always wanted to go walking or running with someone and could she come with me sometimes, I told her that it would be fun to have a walking partner, but she needed to ask her Mom so I wrote her Mom a little note and when she wants to walk she can call me and I will walk with her. Isn't that cute, she is about 7 or 8 I think. I felt ancient. Well, I have to go and shave Spencer's neck. I will write more later. Love, Mom and Dad
