What a pleasure...

We have gone and cut grass, or shoveled snow for the elderly or at the empty houses. With winter coming the one thing that I don't look forward to is the fact that I live 3 blocks from the Elementary School and no one shovels or salts their sidewalks. When it snows a lot we take the snowblower and snowblow the snow all the way to the school. I understand our neighbor Arnie not doing it, he is in his 70's. But the others who are maybe in their mid 30's tick me off.

Lived in the city with 55' wide lots for over 20 years. Had some great neighbors and some, so so. I use to snow blow about 5 houses on our side, one on the other side. Clean the gutters for the woman across the street, fix her garage door opener, etc. It was a nice neighborhood. We just always wanted a little more space, a little more openness. We left some good people behind but have made some really good friends here.
