After a long period of "for sale" signs in my neighborhood, I'm finally noticing a lot of moving trucks rolling through our streets. This is definitely the time of year when folks are changing homes, before the new school year begins. After the trucks leave, and the boxes are unpacked, the next order of business for my new neighbors will be to welcome friends to their new home with a Housewarming Party.
