What happens in toy land stays in toy land.
Before I built the homes, I solicited the people who I wanted for neighbors, namely six of my closest friends with house number seven being my house. I first sold them on the idea of having our own private, gated community compound, so as to speak. Once they saw the land with the view of the lake and with the mountain range in the background, it wasn't very hard to sell them the idea for the development. At first the idea was a bit bizarre with all of us living in close proximity of one another. Still, we each had nearly three acres of land. We never had to see one another if we so wanted. Yet, after I ran some numbers and they saw what I could build for them at an affordable cost and even cheaper if they agreed to do some of the work themselves, they were sold on the idea. We even chose the name of the drive, Toy Land Drive for obvious reasons that I will divulge later in the story.
For years, the group of us partied together, vacationed together, shopped together, and traveled together. We all get along fabulously. There is no dissention among our group of fourteen adults and eighteen children. Yeah, sure, we've had some disagreements over the years, but nothing that could not be resolved over a bottle of wine. Matter of fact, we get along even better now, since all of our children are grown and have left home. I am lucky because we have a fun group of neighbors who are our closest of friends. We are all around the same age and all have the same interests. We love to have fun and have grown to become even closer friends since living in our little utopia. Life couldn't be better.
