Yes, you know it's true.
We're moving out of our apartment today, but, unlike when we moved out of our place in Tacoma and I spent more time saying, "I'm going to miss my big red couch!" and "Goodbye, my lovely fish!" than actually moving, I'm not weepy or sappy at all.

They even walk by your house in disbelief that your dad actually lives there. She and her husband are in completely star struck by your dad. Figured you should be proud and he would be happy to know that he is well appreciated in his community (ie Laurelfield, since it's technically not the same neighborhood).
PPS. The "Back Street" or "Dirt Road" now has a new name. It's now the "Black Top" due to the repaving of it a few years back. I'm a little out of the loop with the neighborhood lingo. But it's news to me, so I figured I would pass it on.
