We are on Day 7 of our April A to Z - and our letter of the day is G!
G is for Good Neighbors
Good neighbors a thing that makes life better!
Mark and I live in the greatest neighborhood. We have white picket fences. Seriously! We have parks and green spaces. We have a great pool less than two blocks from our house. We have a pond. The neighborhood is awesome, but the thing that makes it really great is our good neighbors!
Our good neighbors on either side were so helpful when our house burned back in July 2022.

Our neighborhood has several fun parties throughout the year where we are surrounded by Good Neighbors like Theresa and Rob and their grandkids.
We live on a circle around a park and one of our neighbors had a wonderful Christmas party this year.
All of these ladies are our good neighbors!
Lu and Dave are our travel buddies and they are good neighbors in every way.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention our Good neighbors who participate in neighborhood supper club. We meet once a month and we are shuffled around so that we get to meet more neighbors. I love that our neighborhood is a mix of old and young! The couple on the right is the age of our children and the couple on the left are in their late 80's (I believe).
Here is another group at our house -- the man sitting to Mark's left is Tommy and he and Mark work at the Hub every week (food bank). The blonde lady on the right middle is Sherri and she organizes all of these events and does a wonderful job!
Here I am with more neighbors at someone else's house!
So far, I've shared about Good Neighbors who live in my neighborhood, but our church saying is "Hey Neighbor" because everyone is our neighbor! All of you are my neighbors, too, and I think you are really GREAT neighbors! Please tell me about your favorite neighbor!
I write about my amazing neighbors all the time. It is hard being a widow, but still an independent woman, and learning to ask for help. My neighbors are always there for me. Always. I am blessed beyond measure. Looks like you are, too!! xo
ReplyDeleteNeighbors are so important. We have a good neighborhood as well, I am thankful. We are not close like you are, but we do watch out for each other.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Week!!

I consider my neighbors to be “good” because they are all quiet, but unfortunately I don’t actually know any of them…
ReplyDeleteI travel a lot and do not currently have a traditional neighborhood group. I have in the past, however, when my husband and I were settled and raising our family. Good neighbors are like an extension of the family and a blessing to one's life.
ReplyDeleteHey Neighbor! Sometimes the virtual neighbor is the best kind. We have two neighbors on our road. One is an older gentleman who is very kind and always waves when he drives by and occasionally will share the garden bounty with us. We bake him goodies... the other elderly gentleman and his wife and older son who lives at home is not a nice person. He is a very angry man.... we pray for him.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
