New Neighbors
So our neighbors finally sold their house and new ones moved in. I met the wife today while getting the mail. She and her husband moved here from New York. I have always wanted to be the kind of person who welcomes their new neighbors with baked goods and so on, but is that weird? Will they think I'm totally nuts? I was thinking a batch of chocolate chip cookies would be a nice "Welcome to the neighborhood." What are some ways you other bloggers have welcomed or been welcomed into the neighborhood?

I think that the cookies are a great idea! I would attach a little note saying "Welcome to the neighborhood!" It would certainly make them feel more comfortable with you guys and even if you don't become BFFs, you will have one more person wave at you when you come home :)
I had one set of neighbours arrive with freshly baked cookies, the other with a bottle of wine all wrapped up with a nice little card. Both were so thoughtful!
what a sweet idea. pun not intended. ;) you're nicer than me. i ignore my asshole neighbors. they are so noisy. but perhaps their elephantitis especially annoys me b/c they live above and beside me. silly boys.
but, i won't have to put up with them for long! i'm sure i'll be complaining about 40 college girls. lol. i may need to be committed.
I think cookies are a great idea! When we moved in our neighbor brought over cookies . . . that reminds me that I should probably send a thank-you or something . . . or should I? I don't know.
Anyway, I would love to be that person who takes cookies over but I'm generally pretty unsocial with people I don't know, not unfriendly, I just don't want to have a full conversation everytime we happen to see each other . . . ok, so maybe that's unfriendly . . .
Cookies are a good idea. I always thought that was sweet when people did that for me.
I had to come over from Modern Mom's blog when she mentioned your name was I Hate Michigan.
I live in Michigan so I'm curious as to whether you mean the state or U of M. I'm not opposed to either one. I'm an OSU fan in wolverine country.
I meant that I'm not opposed to you hating either one.
