The clocks change, it gets darker earlier, cold weather comes in, kids fall sports seasons are over, and skiing season begins.  All of these factors typically signify the end of alley parties and random late night drinking with neighbors.  This is certainly true for the Frazier and Dalton families.  \u201cThey are such a big part of our lives for eight months of the year,\u201d said Kelly Dalton.  \u201cOur kids are friends, and we have so many fun late nights with them.  But, skiing season begins, and holidays, and the just being depressed from the dark and cold weather makes it so you don\u2019t even want to leave your house.  So, we probably won\u2019t see our neighbors much in the next four months.\u201d\n<!--more-->\n\u201cWe absolutely love the Daltons,\u201d said Mary Frazier.  \u201cWe do so much with them, but winter just ends up not being a good time for our families to hang out.  We are hoping to find a time to schedule a visit with them over the next four months, but otherwise, it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/sunny-day-after-4-months-neighbors-see-each-other-for-first-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">goodbye until spring<\/a>.  Emotionally, this is really hard for the adults, and I know it is hard on the kids as well.\u201d\nSo, the Fraziers and Daltons exchanged hugs, kisses, and tears, and said goodbye for the winter.  \u201cThey will always be our dear friends,\u201d said Kelly Dalton.  \u201cWe just hope this winter goes quickly.\u201d  Mary Frazier agrees.  \u201cLuckily, with social media, we can still keep in contact with them, see what they\u2019re doing, and even call them every once in a while.  It is hard, but, hey, circle of life.\u201d  Residents all over Stapleton look forward to seeing their neighbors after the long, long winter.  ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6012","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-116","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6012\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
