Ken and I bought our first house about 11 1/2 years ago. It was a little big for us but we added another child, and of course somehow it gets full. Do we really need all this stuff. The first few years we had very nice neighbors, but they also were adding a child and moved to a larger home.
Our sweet neighbor moved in and has been a blessing! Anique loves here. She is a dedicated gardener and lets Anique assist with planting, weeding or whatever she might be working on. They just chat and chat. Anique and Bailey water her flowers when she is on vacation.
We try to help out whenever she asks and she shares our green bin (for yard waste). We never fill it and are more than happy to let her add her clippings and leaves. We exchange small gifts at the holidays and show each other our project successes.
The day before Valentine's Day she dropped off a sweet treat for the family tied with a ribbon.
We are so grateful that we have been blessed with such a generous and special neighbor. In past years we have considered moving occassionally but I don't think we could find a better neighbor. We are truly lucky!
