（海南省2024-2025学年高三下学期学业水平诊断（五）英语试题（含听力））Making friends can be hard, especially as adults. But 87-year-old Doug Turner doesn’t let age stop him from having a good time. The Pennsylvania resident recently became famous after he arrived at the door of his neighbor, Hernandez. The door security camera recorded the sweet moment, and it marked the beginning of a new friendship.
Hernandez had just moved to the neighborhood and hadn’t met Turner yet. The video shows him carefully approaching her doorstep with his walking stick and a pocket full of paper invitations. He rang the doorbell and handed her an invitation. “Hi, I’m Turner from across the street,” he said. “This is an invitation to a winter party. I don’t want to leave it in the mailbox because you may miss it.” The invitation had a hand-drawn snowflake and said, “A Celebration of Winter…4:00 pm until the police arrive.”
Hernandez was touched and shared the moment on TikTok. The video quickly got over 2million views, with many people encouraging her to attend. Excitement grew as brands and even Michael Bublé offered food, drinks and gifts for the party. Turner received fan mail from around the world. He kept the guest list small, inviting just a few dozen neighbors.
Turner has lived on the street for 16 years and used to host winter parties with his late wife. Now, he continues the tradition to stay busy and bring people together. “I’m going to get these people in one room, and maybe they’ll get to know each other,” he said. On February 15th,Hernandez shared a live video from the party. Turner later said, “It’s been great to connect with a bunch of great neighbors. We didn’t get through all the food and drinks, but we did put a big hole in the pile. And the police never showed up.”
