I like my neighborhood

My neighborhood is pretty great. While the houses may all be small and all look the same (gotta love G.I. homes build on a concrete slab in the 50's), I still am very proud to call it my own, Ja's and my home. What I like about my neighborhood today is that several of my neighbors have Kerry- Edwards signs in their yards. I like that. I also like that some yards look good... some yards not so good, so it's okay that our yard is still "under construction." We'll have a good yard in time, but we're new at this and don't have the time to figure out what we're doing, and it's getting dark before I get home... hell, it's dark when I leave. I don't even see the yard anymore! I also like that right to the north of us is Mission Hills, KS- filled with big, pretty homes. Right to the south of us is Leawood, KS- filled with big, pretty homes. Right to the west of us is bigger, prettier homes of Prairie Village, KS, and onto the east is State Line followed by some unique homes of Waldo and Brookeside. And then there's our nieghborhood stuck in the middle. I wonder how it ended up here. -em
