One of the hardest things to leave when we moved was our street. Liptonshire wasn't just the street our house was on... it was where we started the "Shirette" family. It's where we had our front yard happy hours, where we came home and there was always a smiling face to wave to, where we would swing our kids from the big oak trees, where we formed many great friendships, and where Bridgette & Aiden learned what having neighbors really meant!
The weekend we moved was the weekend they threw us a "going away" party. We've had many parties together on the street, but not like this! Everything was just so nice! Alice hosted at her house, and the rest of the street pitched in with great dishes, grilling, extra tables/chairs, etc. Bob and I were so touched by the whole evening, and especially the toasts/speeches at the end. We feel so loved and are forever grateful for the memories made on that little block in Lake Highlands.
We left a great house, but gained a family for life! We love you Shirettes! Thank you for everything!
