I was pleased when neighbor Joyce asked for help getting her car to the shop for a brake job. Her first idea was to join my walk as I reached the stop sign and she came up the steep hill. Luckily, we came up with an alternative, because it was much too cold for the majority of people. 22F (-5.556C) Yes, daughter Lise, I should have listened to you and gotten used to putting the car in the garage. Ten minutes ahead of time I started the frosted car, and the windows were clear when I needed to pick her up.
I must have cleaned off my car hundreds of times in New York, because I worked for 23 years. Our garages were always full of junk, except the time SIL Barbara and Thom helped us clean them out. Those thoughts led me to a small chest in the hall where I rummaged for driving gloves. Eureka! I found a pair I haven’t used for over 10 years. They and my NY coat kept me warm.
Why was this a pleasure? It shows the world’s best neighborhood is working as it should. We always help each other whenever possible. I had to be at the house and dressed by 9 for a man to do a routine check on the heating system. I could not have walked at my usual time. It was easy to help Joyce. Goodness knows, she has helped me many times, and I could need more help in the future. Oh! If only everyone in the world had lovely neighbors!

In this complex where I live we have a mixture of good neighbours and not so good neighbours thankfully there are only 2 neighbours I really don’t like, one being the old lady Tasha slapped and the other have domestic fights usually set off by drug use according to Tasha.

Great neighbors are such a blessing! It is too bad that most of us don’t meet unless a disaster happens. When the hurricane hit this area, we finally met the sweet young couple with a baby that had moved in nearby. It was wonderful to pull together during a time of need, but unfortunately, we haven’t seen them since.

After our first baby is when I met the neighbors in NY.
Hope everything has been restored or fixed in your neighborhood.
