[quote=Anonymous]I can't think of a time I moved into a home that I didn't receive at least one baked item from my new neighbors, usually within a week of moving in.  I'd say it was a Texas mid-western thing, but it happened when we moved to NoVA too.  Met some of my good friends that way, and got the names of all the surrounding neighbors so I could write them  down while I was still learning who everyone was, to say hello.

Most recently, I moved into a TH and got several friendly hellos and welcome to the neighborhoods.  One neighbor went out of her way to deliver a large basket from Bath and Body Works that had to have cost her more than $50 with a card and her phone number in case I needed anything.  And she was not born in this country, but likely one of those another PP mentioned likely does a far better job of welcoming newcomers.

I will bake cookies for new neighbors and walk down with my kids to say hi (and give my kids a chance to hope for an answered prayer that they have similarly-aged kids).  It's a human touch and frankly, I think it reinforces their hope that they bought in a great neighborhood.[/quote]
