Lloyd hates goodbyes, when I mean hates, I mean he just does not do them or make a big deal about them. He does not worry about having last minute visits to say goodbye, he prefers to say “see you soon” or “see you later”. SO… for all those in Cali who we are leaving behind… do not be hurt or surprised if we were not able to see you one last time before we go.
I on the other hand like any excuse for a visit, and would like to get around to everyone before we leave, but with only 8 days left and all the packing still to do, I unfortunately do not feel that is realistic. If we do not see you before we go this does not mean we don’t love you, we do and we look forward to you visiting us and us visiting you! And if it is really important to you to see us before we go, then give us a call and we can arrange something before we go.
We heard yesterday that we have officially been replaced as tenants and neighbours. A young couple named Scott and Tracey are moving into our place once we leave. She is a teacher, (so is her new neighbour Nicole), and he is a Canadian!
Makes me sad that we are replaced and will be forgotten by our wonderful neighbours once they make friends with the new ones 
But I am happy that they seem to have found someone that will be good neighbours to the wonderful people we live next door to, they deserve it 
P.S. I really like this theme but find it hard to read sometimes. Style over readability? Anyones thots?

Well what shall I say…
Nicole and I are glad to hear that there is a new couple moving in soon. So we won’t feel lonely without having anybody next door. I hope we will be able to rely as much as we could on you two. Be it for watering plants, emptying our snail mail box, putting the trash cans out to the street on Monday evenings, etc. All these things will first need to be established again.
But it is not really the “practical” things of life that we appreciated most - they just came in handy
Be it having a brief chat, laugh about this and that, hear the latest and greatest gossip abour the “Giants” - just what makes home HOME…
Nicole and I are sad that the two of you are leaving sunny California. We certainly understand and can relate to the reasons behind that - still it doesn’t change the fact that it is always hard to see close friends moving on.
While you geographically won’t be as close to us anymore, it doesn’t change anything with regards to the fact that you still will be our friends. Forgotten - NO WAY! Nicole and I are sure that we will see each other again - be it once we are in BC or you visiting the Bay Area. I indeed hope that we can keep in touch.
As for me – I’ll definitely look forward to hearing/reading more on your blog…
PS: I like the style you are using – isn’t really hard for me to read…
