Unless you live on your own island, we all have neighbors. Just curious how others get along with theres. We are very lucky to have good ones on three sides of us. The ones to our north bought the house about two years ago. Our long time (18 years) widow lady died and when the house was for sale I got a call one night and the realtor asked if I could let a family in to look at it. He new I had a key as I had been helping to take care of our elder friend. He was pretty sure they would not like it so I said sure I would let them in. The family, mom, dad and two kids were from El Salvador. He left after serving in the army (didn't ask which one). We hit it off well and I showed them all of the great stuff about the well built older house. They bought it and we are great friends. He is a chef and a very good one. We share vegatables and food back and forth. By the way I didn't get so much as a thank you from the realtor for selling the house for him.
The ones to our west are the best we have had there since we bought here. For several years it was a rental and had some very odd people there at times. One guy was a drunk who liked to play hi guitar loudly in the back yard and he was a lousy player. The more he drank the worse he got. This family has been there for about four years and is a very good hispanic family. He works for Fidelitis winery as a vineyard supervisor so we get to taste a lot of great wine and share our smoked stuff with them.
The family to the south is very starnge and do not come out much. She has o/c behavior and he mows the lawn in 100 degree heat with sweats on and rubber elbow lenght kitchen gloves on. Strange but probably harmless.
The family across the street is the one I do not get along with. I called the cops several years ago when I saw there 16 year old gang banger boy unloading several guns from his car to another and I knew they couldn't be his. I am pretty sure he was involved in a burglary at both our house and our elderly lady neighbor to the north. Since then I have been a bigot racist bastard in there eyes. I could not care less tho. I would do it again as he has done hard time over the years so I was right and he is still a gang banging piece of crap.
I think if you can have two or three good neighbors you should consider your self pretty fortunate. Anyone else with great or not so great neighbors?
