like thoughts.com ...Has anyone ever gone to the little town in Florida called Celebration.

  It is Walt Disneys version of the perfect little community,

sort of like our own thoughts.com.

happens to be Bens version of the perfect blog community

 Instead of a house,

 we have a post,

and instead a block we have a blog. 

 remember block parties?

We had a blog party in Vegas

another story

when a new person moves into town

we have 

our own 

  welcome wagon

on hand to greet the newcomer

everyone arrives

 bearing gifts 

like a little parade
one after another
to make the new guy feel welcome

these friendly neighbors never fail to show up

they are johnny on the spot,

ringing your doorbell

before you even unpack all your stuff

they gladly answer all your questions and tell you not to hesitate if you need anything
they encourage you as you set up your household

you can always go to them with your problems

or if you just want a cup of tea and a kind word

no one stays a stranger for long around here

its a typical community

complete with our own

town elders

and politicians

 preachers

doctors, lawyers, housewives, teenagers, little kids and wise old man

yeah, occasionally we even have to deal with a crabby neighbor once in awhile

but if someone picks on you

beware

because

we have a very close knit group

 and if you hurt one of us,

you will be scolded

we all stick up for our own

and if you don't like it here,

you can move

 yet, most people settle down in this thoughful place
 and raise a little family
and

if one of us isn't feeling good

someone is on your doorstep checking up and offering a hand

we have become one big happy family
and it

really feels like home

just as Dorothy once said

there's no place like home

there's no place like home

I believe she said it twice

and
that's another story
