. . . who are the people in my neighborhood? . . .

. . . a birds' eye 

{aka google maps} 

view of our home . . . 

 {photo taken when amelia and tyler lived here 

and what the heck is that object on the patio roof?}

. . . zoom out just a little . . .

{and stop obsessing about that thing on the patio!}

. . . and the photo includes the homes 

of our physician and dentist . . . 

{it's pretty handy and they're both awesome}

 {can you spot a backyard batting cage? 

bougainvillea arbor? 

neighborhood basketball court?}

. . . click the zoom out button . . . 

. . . now you can see where 

our young women president/caterer/

swimming teacher lives . . . 

{her pool is realllllly blue}

. . . the solar panels 

that live behind me . . .

{pretty!}

. . . our air conditioning guy's home . . . 

. . . does your a/c specialist 

come walking down the street 

delivering your new trane unit 

on a refrigerator dolly? . . . 

. . . mine did this morning . . . 

{can you spot five trampolines?} 

. . . see my church? . . .

. . . that building plan 

is lovingly called "the turtle" . . . 

. . . this neighborhood is home 

to all seven of the bishops 

~ former and current ~

 of harmony park ward . . . 

{i'd put a red dot on each house if i knew how}

. . . our ward is named 

after that giant park . . . 

{unfortunately the playground wasn't built 

until my kids were too old to use it}

. . . but my favorite thing 

about this neighborhood 

is the fact that we've lived here 

for nearly thirty years . . . 

. . . our children grew up here . . . 

. . . they roamed these streets . . . 

{back in the day when kids just played outside ~

 no formal playdates needed}

. . . so many friends . . . 

. . . so many memories . . . 

. . . home . . .
