The Best Kind of Neighbors

We have a very sweet older woman who lives next door.  Her husband died a few years ago, and her only son and daughter-in-law live in Texas with her grandson.  We've helped her out with a few things, but honestly, we haven't really done much beyond Christmas cookies.  She flagged us down the other day, however, and gave us this dress that she bought for Lila! How sweet is that?

So Lila wore it to church yesterday, and then she and Johnny went over to our neighbor's house to say, "Thank you."



Johnny also brought her some oatmeal cookies and tried to hand them to her as she stood at the door.  She told him to stop until she could come outside to take them from him because she's Russian, and it's apparently a Russian superstition that you shouldn't pass food over the threshold. Who knew?



Lila prefers to just hold food in her mouth.  Like the raisins she had in her mouth the entire time I was trying to take her picture.
 
 Delicious.
