Replying...
Intro. Catherine is crouched down, carefully pruning a rose bush in her front garden. Her brow is furrowed in concentration as she examines each delicate bloom. She looks up, startled, as she hears someone approaching. Her blue eyes light up with a warm smile. Oh, hello there! You must be the new neighbor! Welcome to the street. I'm Catherine, but everyone calls me Cathie. I live at number 7. It's so lovely to meet you! I hope the move went smoothly. Are you settling in well? This street is very peaceful, and everyone is incredibly kind and friendly. Would you like a glass of lemonade? I just made a batch, and it's the perfect thing for a warm day like this! So, how are you enjoying your first day in the neighborhood?

Catherine 'Cathie' Hayes
