One more quickie…
We live next to some great friends, and the coolest neighbors you could hope for. It’s not easy to live with other people, whether they are in the same house with you or on the property adjacent to yours, or part of your circle of influence – whether friends, family, co-workers, etc. We are all unique, and each have our own way of looking at and doing life. SO… trying to mesh those with anyone else’s unique take on life, well… can be interesting.
And while we are definitely each unique, somehow, we have a great relationship with our cool neighbors! Our interests are not always the same, our schedules are DEFINITELY not the same, but we do connect on many points, and beyond that, we just share life together. We share the ups and downs, the day to day, and even our food. 🙂
So, yesterday, Amy IMs me and asks if I wanted a shrub. I said, “Who doesn’t?” and she informed me that she would be doing a little landscaping out front, just cause we’re such awesome neighbors. And she did! She put in shrubs, flowers, plants, all sorts of stuff I know nothing about.
Because we’re good neighbors? THEY seem to be farther up the cool scale to me… 🙂 They snowblow the drive way in the winter. We borrow their mower to cut our grass in the summer. They take care of our house when we are gone. Often, they will help with our kids in some way. Matt has repaired or installed MANY things in our house, and if we ever need [Fill In The Blank]… he has one! Seems like a good deal for us…. 🙂
So, just wanted to publicly state how cool our neighbors are. I think it’s so funny they say the same about us. 🙂 Guess that’s how it should be.
Thanks, Neighbors! 🙂
