Last night, Tuesday, we went walking before dinner with Rachey car. As we got near the Madeline Parish's playground we saw two boys, 4 and 1 1/2, who instantly became entranced with Rachey car and practially pushed Rachel aside to get into it (she had taken a rest and was walking beside it). She started sobbing until we asked to trade toys. So they got to ride in the car while rachel tried out their tricyle with the handy handle behind the seat.
As we chatted with the boys' mom, other kids started streaming out of their houses, attracted to the car like bees to honey, and decided to take rides in Rachey car (Rachel and Drew were at the playground by this time, playing around on the tricycle and going down the slide). Then other parents joined us and it ended up being a nice neighborhood scene, with the kids turning cartwheels on one of the lawns and all of us idly talking.
This is what I will miss about Portland if economic circumstances force us to leave.
