We are a bit friendly with the neighbors, to the extent of standing around chatting on the sidewalk. One next-door neighbor is a bit friendlier, he has given us tomatoes and loaned us tools and we have given him discarded toys and bikes for his grandchildren. But I have never been inside his house, or any other house in the neighborhood, except the three houses where people have children the same age as my children. When the children were smaller, we got together for children's birthdays. My parents are like that, too, and my sister, and her husband's family, etc. I don't know if it's something people do now more than they did, or what. My grandparents were much the same way, they might visit on the front porch, but rarely invited people into the home. But people don't have front porches anymore, they have decks. Maybe we need more front porches. I plan to build one on my house eventually.
