    Default Awesome neighbor

    Left home shortly after 8a today, heavy snow coming down. Got home about 30 minutes ago to find my sidewalk, driveway and steps shoveled clear! I had about 5 inches of new snow from today’s dumping. My cardiologist keeps warning me to put off my shoveling snow-especially the wet heavy stuff-during the first 12-24 hours providing the sun comes out.

    My younger son was going to come over to do it but he?s sick. I need to find out which of my great neighbors was kind enough to do this for me. I?ve been thinking about moving lately-my house, while not large by any means, is bigger than I need. One of the things holding me back has been the great friends we?ve all become.

    Truly thankful.

    I clear the driveway of the elderly lady next to me. But I’m going to have to stop because it is making me gain weight.
    She brings over fresh made cookies every time I clear the snow off. There is more calories in the cookies than I burn off clearing the snow.

    Yeah, that's a good neighbor.

    We live on a private road with 8 other families. One guy took it upon himself recently to completely rebuild the mailbox stand where all our mailboxes are. Did a fantastic job. Another guy recently graded the road. I plow it in the winter since I live at the end (if it ever needs to be plowed) and occasionally fill in holes. It's nice not having neighbor problems. We still like our location at the end of the road...nice and private.

    Yes it is. I agree with Doc, as i'm sure you did when relocating. Leaving a great group of people was the toughest part.




    Ok some people

    We do that here as well, Bob. She's a cool old lady, and could use the help.

    Not sure which neighbor goes around with his ATV plow clearing the sidewalks but he must think I'm a dick. He'll do the entire neighborhood except for in front of my house.

    Nah if you were a dick he'd push all the sidewalk snow up to yours

    You should find out and ask if you can assist him with any maintenance on his plow, etc. Maybe he will start doing your portion.

    Or maybe you stole his girlfriend in high school.

    Haha, whoops. Maybe he thinks you're just too capable and doesn't want to emasculate you.
