The neighbors came over. I'm say that because Mark and Joy live near Hiawatha Elementary and they came to say hello. Everyone was happy to meet them:

And life-long friendships were made:

Words are a great way to communicate, but words aren't the only way to communicate. These kids made it more than clear that they had a most wonderful afternoon.

Thanks so much for coming, Mark and Joy!

This old world we're livin' in
Is mighty hard to beat
We get a thorn with every rose
But ain't the roses sweet

We had a great time too. Those kids get inside one’s heart in no time flat.
