I said 'Hello' to Dorthy Johnson, another neighbor

Meeilei and I just had conversation few days ago, "What happened to the Johnson's?" our another Glendale Ave neighbor, except the Johnson's are quite elderly. We used to see them a lot in the backyard. Last year, they complained to us about our huge maple tree giving so much shading that their tomato could not grow well. So, we cut the tree last year. Then for months and months, we did not see the Johnson's working in the backyard. In fact, we did not see them at all. Are they well? Are they doing OK?

Since I am leaving in a few days, I knocked at their door this morning.

"I hope I am not rude to knock at your door to ask how things are going." I said.

"Quite contrary, thank you for doing that," said Dorthy Johnson, who used to be Appleton Mayor, "We are doing just fine. You head-up south, we had us East. That is why we don't see each other."

"Wonderful," I said, " I also come here to say good-bye, as I am leaving for Taiwan in a few days."

"That is great." said Dorthy, " we can keep an eye on your property."

That was a very pleasant conversation.
