This cute old man (83 years old) lives across the street from us and is the self-appointed mayor of our street. All the neighbors call him Ron the Mayor. He keeps an eye on what is going on at all times in the neighborhood. We don't need a neighborhood watch program, we have Ron.
I was outside talking to him today and he asked where we will be moving next year when Scott is all done with training. I told him we were looking at a few places and named Utah as one of them. He said, "Yeah, you guys would probably like to go back to where your people are." At first I thought "your people" meant our extended family, and then I realized "your people" meant other Mormons. I got a good laugh from that one. Maybe we will head out to our UFO and return to our planet to be with our fellow martians. I will miss him next year when we leave planet earth.

Isn't it funny how people perceive us sometimes? There are a lot of weird ideas out there. I was on a website the other day checking out other places to live an ran accross this forum about how it is to live by Mormons. I was shocked because almost all of the posts said basically the same thing...something like...Mormons are great people to live by because they are friendly and cause very little trouble, but don't plan on really being their friend unless you are one of them.
It was the basic message of several different posts. Kind of made me rethink the way I interact with others.
By the way, we can't wait to hear where you are going to end up so keep us all posted!
