We have great neighbors....pretty much all of them. Yes, even the renter across the street with the Harley, 3 kids and a dead front lawn. (But, he is a really nice guy.).
This neighborhood is a close group of peoples. We go out to dinner with our neighbors across the street...their kids call us the 'drinking buddies' although we are more like 'dinner buddies'
We even party together
I guess you can say that we celebrate life
The socialphobic squirrel-lady (kinda like a cat-lady, but with squirrels) at the end of the block passed away recently, and we held a short memorial service for her on the 4th of July. She would always watch the neighborhood block parties from her front window and then send a thank you letter about what a great time she had.
Our longtime (35 years) neighbors down the street moved this morning. Last night, all the neighbors had a block party for them and there was plenty of food and drink. Early this morning, most of us were outside waving to him when he pulled out of the neighborhood (with his pop-up) for probably the last time.
Not many 'hoods like this one
Lucky, we is.
