Old neighbors

We have these great, old next door neighbors, Jim and Doris Jones. Jim is an old WWII vet who might be starting to go senile and his wife Doris is a sweet lady who isn't afraid to tell Jim where to go. They fell in love with Drew the moment they found out that Liz was pregnant; that would be about 6 days before he was born. They have since adopted Drew as their own grandnephew; in fact, they signed a card to him as "Auntie Doris and Unka Jim" (I don't know why a grandnephew and not a grandson, but we'll go with it).

Earlier today they brought Drew his first Halloween gift - a ceramic jar filled with candies - and made Liz promise to give him the candy when he is old enough to eat it. I don't think it'll last that long, but we'll refill it and tell Doris that he ate it.
