I thoroughly enjoyed the walk through your neighborhood and the imaginary "tea party" you might have had with your neighbor in a less social distancing time. The idyllic cup of sugar to borrow was a cozy touch. I loved the light touch of it and the whimsical smile at the end

This is an excellent story about times gone bye. It brings back memories of sitting in my neighbor's kitchen talking
over coffee. I long for those times again.

Thank you for your gracious comments to my work.
Comment from Louise Michelle
The title really grabbed my attention. I'm thinking your protagonist didn't really step into the house, that it was just a memory of times past. Okay, I just re-read the last two paragraphs and you do make it clear. Very nicely written. Hugs, Lou

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Those years seem so long ago, yet I remember them as if it were yesterday. Neighbours would come to borrow a cup of sugar, that was the first thing I thought of when I read your title. People were there whenever you needed them. Times long gone, and they are more longed for in these days of disquiet and virus. I enjoyed your ramble through those lovely times. Well done, it was a cheerful and very delightful to read. :) Sandra xxx

Nice and very visual. I felt as if I was there. It also lets you appreciate the small and tender moments of life that are missed and overlooked. Thank you for sharing this.

I definitely feel your longing, wistful remembrance of a time that was not so long ago, but sometimes feels like it was. And, I feel the hope that those times will come again.

It's amazing how the world changed so quickly. Fear gripped us and spread throughout the planet. What a wonderfully written story. Let's hope a loving future is ahead of us. Best luck with your writing!
Have a great day and God bless.

This was a very unique remembrance poem. I liked the idea of revisiting simpler times and the old idea of normality. Great work with this awesome story!

Hello Amada,
Nice Script having lucid wording with good alliteration at some places, captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end, and depicting its theme in a very natural way.
The live description of persons, places, and scenes is remarkable.
The last paragraph is particularly noteworthy.
LAUDABLE!

The imagery is absolutely beautiful and the voice intriguing. I quite enjoyed reading this piece of art!
One correction I would make is that you have written "step in" in the fifth paragraph, and then "stepping in" in the sixth, and this sounds somewhat repetitive. However, this could be used for an effect, and in that case, could still be kept!
