[quote=Anonymous]I have what my parents had and I now realize how lucky that is...some REALLY great neighbors with similar interests and non-annoying kids.  There are 3-4 families where we routinely have impromptu gatherings.  We also vacation sometimes together.  I see these people as people I will still want to hang out with when all of our kids flee the nest.  My parents had a really core group of neighbors like this in my cul-de-sac growign up...they were like family members to me.  I still ask about MrandMrs so-and-so and their kids and my parents are still close with even the ones that retired in different parts of the country.

I have a few childhood friends and work colleagues in the area that live about 20 min away and we are in touch less frequently due to kids' schedules---but we try to do somethign every 3-4 months or so and when I get together with them we pick up right where we left off.

I don't like planning things in advance so I appreciate my neighbors are spur of the moment--let's hang out but also don't worry or take it personally if we don't see each other that particular week becasue of busy schedules.  no jealousy and no drama and I hope it remains this way!  I keep thinking how lucky we are to have a street with so many people I would have hung out with in my 20s.

I don't like huge groups and I am not a facebook type.  I prefer a tighter core.  It is fun to go out once in awhile with a much larger group--but I prefer to keep it local on a week-by-week basis.[/quote]
