I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before but it’s time to toot the horn again. I have the most wonderful neighbours.
Due to his job, the hubby isn’t always home and when he’s away the neighbours take very good care of me. When the basement flooded after days of rain (the sump pump broke) he fixed the sump and helped me dry out the basement. When we needed a new roof on the house, he sold us the supplies at cost and his crew did the work for pizza, beer and a bbq dinner. When we were snowed in last week he snowblowed my driveway so I could get to work.
Some in the city would say I live in a bad neighbourhood. I say it’s all relative. When you have awesome neighbours who look out for each other it makes a huge difference in how you view the area of town you live in.

That sounds like a fantastic neighbor! We would live in a better world if we all had neighbors like that!

Your neighborhood is definitely a pocket of heaven. A little rose among the thorns.
And your neighbors are for sure a rare commodity. Lots of people don’t have your luck in finding those good people who pitch in and help others.

I believe that it takes a village…for so many things. And we are fortunate to live in a neighborhood like yours. My husband traveled a lot when the kids were small and we lived next door to the best neighbors. I am not sure I could have made it without them. And now our neighborhood is the definition of the village it takes! We all watch out for each other and each other’s children. We are not just allowed, we are expected to admonish each other’s children if we see them doing something wrong.
