Neigborly Love

[surefooted]

The other day I left my trash outside my front door, intending to put it out on the street half an hour later. When I finally decided to remove it from the front door, it was gone. My neighbor had put it out for me. Another time, I had already put the trash out the night before and as I left for work the next morning I saw that some animal had ripped the side of my trash bag open and some of the contents were lying on the ground. My neighbor was also on her way to work. I moved towards the bag to clean up the mess but she was already there before me and cleaned up the mess as I got there. What neighborly kindness! And to think that a few years earlier she did not want to sell her house to us at all, the house that we're living in right now. We're grateful everyday for this lovely home, a gift from God, but that's another story! Praise God!

I left my recycling barrel trash can and my regular trash can out until the morning after collection once. The city came by and posted a notice on my  trash cans that I would be charged a removal fee if I ever did that again.

My solution has been to never recycle again and instead just put everything in the one regular waste can. I will at least half my fine that way.

Oh, you are a rascal, aren't you? 

Talking about nice, neighborly neighbors:  I got to know Patricia about four or so months ago.   She lives on the first floor, I'm on the second floor of a 74 unit apartment building.   Twice now when I have been sick, she has helped my elderly mom and me.   She went to the nearby store for a few groceries to help tide us over.   She also went to the nearby Subway Sandwich shop for a sandwich for us.   She cheerfully says it's no bother, and for us to let her know when we need any help.

Some other neighbors have also been very nice.   Will let me use his WiFi for a long time until he discontinued it.   Then two young gals did the same for me.   Now two nice, young guys let me use theirs.   I do pay them a little bit.   But they all have been so nice to this senior citizen, it's appreciated!
