visit from a neighbor

Tonight I got a drop-in visit from a neighbor. She is an old lady, retired, a little afraid of people. But she still somehow made a connection with me and JQ, and she stopped by today to ask some questions about moving house. And I did not buy it, but I accepted it- her way of putting a reason for the visit. And we talked about whatever we could pull up between the two of us. Two unrelated, very different people. She, retired, no money, looking to buy a house in the middle of Pennsylvania to save money in the long run, obvously thinking that is where she will end up at the end. Me, younger, starting out, trying not to think about those years in the distant future, trying to focus on life now with energy and time. It was a nice cup of tea, and I feel connected again to life, complete life, not just my bubble.
