The new neighbors aren’t really all that new. It’s been 3 years since we moved and Katerina has made many new friends. One of her new friends came up to me today in the Nordic Museum cafe and we had a friendly chat about his dog and our former cat and other neighborhood goings on. Ballard is a friendly place!!
