    We miss our old neighbors and friends. We always enjoyed Bob and Doris and our dinners out. One time we went to Smoky Bones and Bob and I couldn’t get coffee and Bob said let’s get out of here I know where we can get coffee. We went to Mt. Airy, only time Gary has ever been in the place but we got our coffee. Lots of good memories.
