Welcome, Neighbors!

 Welcome to "A View From the Porch."  What is this little endeavor all about?  We're glad you asked!  The porch has held an interesting place in American history: it was a place to gather with friends and neighbors, to bring us all a little closer to nature by bringing us at least outdoors, and to exchange ideas, share our lives and experiences with one another.  That is the heart of what we're looking to do.  In our travels, we all do "things."  Whether it's an excursion, or discovering something new about a city, a small little town, anything like that, this is a part of living our lives.  We are just like that, too.  And this is our chance to share  our experiences with you.

We call you our neighbors, because that's what we really are:  we're all in this world together, and we need one another.  Eventually, we hope to grow from a review blog into something more, where we can not only share the experiences we have, but we can also give a voice to those people out there who are making things and doing things, changing lives for the better, one small step at a time.  In sharing those different points of view, our goal is to expand OUR point of view, to grow and share in the American experience more fully, and to share that journey with the rest of you, our neighbors.

So, welcome, Neighbors, to our virtual porch.  We hope you will visit often.

Your friendly Neighbors, 
Krystal and Bill
