Surprise Visitors

Yesterday turned out to be a pretty great vacation day.  The weather was WAY nicer than anyone could expect for November in Upstate New York.  I was wearing a sweatshirt while mowing the lawn and got really hot.  Just a t-shirt in November?  Crazy.  There will probably be snow on the ground by the end of the month.

I got the lawn all cleaned up and headed out for a little errand.  When I got back I saw a few of my neighbors gathered at the end of the driveway of the house next door.  When I got out of my car one of them came over and told me that the previous owners of my house were here and asked if I had a minute to chat with everyone.  Apparently they were in town for something else and decided to stop by to see their old friends.  The previous owners moved down to South Carolina and the thought never even crossed my mind that I would ever meet them.  Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, here they were!  I was pleased that I had taken the time to mulch all the leaves in the front earlier in the day so it was at least looking nice for them.

My house is 50 years old and there have only been 2 owners before me.  The couple I met yesterday had lived here for 47 or 48 years.  That is a looooong time, at least in my world.  It was actually really nice to be able to meet the people who had cared for my house for so many years before it became mine.  They seemed pleased to be able to meet me as well.  They were both very, very nice and apparently pretty popular in the neighborhood.  We stood outside and chatted for quite a while.  I wasn't sure if I should have invited them (and the rest of the crowd?) in to see the house or not.  It seemed appropriate, but also strange.  I decided that since I hadn't prepared for company and the house wasn't in tip-top shape, I wouldn't extend an invitation.  Were they expecting one?  Are the neighbors all talking about me now saying how rude it was I didn't invite them in?  What do you do in this situation?
