"Love is a happy home" -Nikki Smal

I've spoken about our very cool neighbors before. And I've mentioned Nikki's very cool blog over here. We are so glad that so many awesome people live in our little village -Observatory. 

Last night I spent a bit of time sitting on Nikki's couch, playing with Banjoe and drinking my version of a Cosmopolitan. Delish. Graeme did the bed time run with the boys within earshot and I got to hang with a friend and pretend that I didn't have kids for a few hours. Some 'me' time is very, absolutely important. On Friday G is going to watch a game with his friends, and it just gives us both a chance to re-charge a bit.

I am lucky to have such a nice friend that lives right next to us. I see a great need for a dog / human door between our walls. (Our houses used to be one BIG house. We each live on either side of a semi-detached home, that was divided. Technically we share a house, with a big wall dividing us in the passage.) Their place is very handsome looking. Here are some pictures of the Smal residence from her blog. Images by Nikki.
