A neighborhood question About This Page:

[AKLRULZ]

My neighborhood ROCKS! My neighbors who live just behind us just popped in with a big hot batch of chocolate chip cookies (she called them her Hurricane special). Keep in mind it's pouring here and they were soaked from the wind swept rain!

So, do you have cool neighbors? [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Signed,
Off to indulge in what may be my last meal! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

We're buddies with our neighbors across the road.

NO. Our neighbors across the street are freaks. (and not in a good way) The lady who lives next to us is kinda unpleasant. The family on the other side is ok, but not cool by any means. I wish I had cool neighbors though!

We had awesome neighbors next door - but they built their dream house about 2 miles away and moved this summer! We still see them, but it's not the same!

Sarah likes the new neighbors - they have kids her age, while our old neighbors only had 1 daughter Jennie's age; but I don't care for their value system. They are nice enough - but their 8 year old is tooling around on a dirt bike at 10 pm on a school night - keeping my girls awake! They went away to a horse show for Labor Day weekend - and left their little kitten home to fend for itself. Apparently, they want it to be a barn cat, but this little sweetie is a house cat in every sense of the word! We didn't even know they were leaving or we would have offered to kitty sit, although not in our house - John is allergic. This little sweetie was crying on our porch for 5 days - they didn't leave it any food or anything. We did go over and feed it everyday (On their porch), but other than that, it just cried to be with my girls. It would jump up and hang off my BRAND NEW screen door all night long! I couldn't sleep wanting to check on it - we've had a lot of trouble with foxes and coy dogs in our neighborhood. Our local cat lady (doesn't every small town have one?) lost 4 cats to this, and several others have lost cats as well. I've seen the fox in my yard several times this summer, and he's huge!! Seems like they've worked it out - since school started - it's only been over to visit a few times - and never at night.

Our neighbors have really raucus parties several times each year, but they've really been great about turning down the music when we shut off our porch light and keeping their guests from parking us in. The last 3 years, they've even come over to do our yard work in appreciation to us for not calling the cops after midnight. Another neighbor has a garden. He's always bringing over tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins in the fall, and corn. He also lets DJ and I play in his yard with his dog. Our yard is mostly trees, weeds, and rocks. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] We've got some new neighbors building next door, between us and the old neighbors - The Happy People - as DH and I call them, with their perfect yard, 2.5 kids, 1 dog, 1 cat, pool, and swingset. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] Even their Christmas lights are perfectly straight and tasteful. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

We have quite a mixture! I don't like any of the neighbours across the street: One is stuck up and won't even wave at you if you are outside at the same time and they park on the street so that we can't easily back out of our driveway, one is a drug dealer who has served time and hopefully quit dealing (I haven't noticed as much traffic lately), and one has two young 20-somethings boys still living at home that knocked down our snowmen the last 2 winters.

But I do like the neighbours on our side of the street! To the south: a really cool young couple - a fireman and a cop - we've sat out on their patio a few times this summer and shared some wobblies, to the north: a very pleasant widow, north of her: a very nice retired couple who love my kids and dog, to the north of them: my best friend in Winnipeg.

Our neighbors are pretty cool, though I've never gotten cookies from them. When we first moved in we got pies and cakes!! [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

Oh my gosh!!!!!!! I LOVE [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] my neighbors- except for my next door neighbor on the right hand side if you are looking at my house! YUCK!!!!!! They are so mean! They are mean to my kids-one time the guy put vaseline on his fence because my kids climbed it to get to our shed roof. Now I know they should not be sitting on the shed, but my goodness!! Waht a jerk!! My husband about sued him for it and we haven't spoken to him since. Strangely, this makes me very sad. [img]graemlins/pout.gif[/img] Anyway, the rest of my neighborhood is fabulous and we are all friends!! The girls have Buncko night once a month and we rotate houses. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

We only have 1 neighbor and they are great. They own a business that installs swimming pools so they have one of those big fancy in the ground pools with a waterfall and hot tub. Their daughter is DD's best friend. Very nice people!

I don't really know any of my current neighbors, just our landlords and they're very sweet. Oh, and the lady who goes out of her way to let her dog pee on our driveway. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
DH, Josh, met the guy who owns the one house we can see from our front porch in the new place. (not a very crowded neighborhood). He asked Josh if he's married and Josh said "yep, four years." The guy said to Josh, "My marriage lasted four years. Then I bought my ex wife out of this house and moved my girlfriend in." That's nice. Remind me to encourage DH to hang out with him.

Our neighbors are okay for the most part. Everyone on our street has at least five acres, so no one is right next to each other and we can actually go weeks without seeing some people.

The guy right behind us can be a jerk sometimes, especially if we're doing a remodel project or major outdoor work. He likes to tell us what we can and can't do, blah, blah.....Otherwise he just sticks to himself. His wife is pretty nice, a little weird but nice. In front of us is my father-in-law, his girlfriend and her two kids so they are good neighbors although the girlfriend can be annoying at times. Across the gravel drive from them is a couple with two little boys and a new baby on the way. They're really nice. There's four other houses on the street, one family with three teenagers that is really nice, a widow who is the neighborhood busybody, a retired guy and his wife who keep to themselves pretty much but always wave when we drive by, and a new family that we rarely see.

We live on a quiet , out of the way street with mostly family so I would have to say that I love my neighbors very much. My grandparents live right across the street.You sound like you have great neighbors. Now you have made me hungry!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

[Colexis Mom]

Yes, we have great neighbors and a great neighborhood. Although I didn't know them all that well, they gave me a baby shower before I had Alexa. I hadn't even met some of these people (there were about 35 people there,and frankly, I think they used it as an excuse to have a party, which was fine by me [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ).

We have lots of parties (although it has slowed down a lot from when we first moved in [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ) but it's a great place to be!!

[mrsmaup]

yes. We live in a VERY small town(200 people or under) and we know and are friendly with everyone in town. Even the town Baptist Bigot has been better to me!LOL!!

They take care of the 4 military families in town(us and 3 others), we get fresh veggies and apples all summer long.

One of our neighbors built us a new front deck for cost only


They are all rpetty lovely people who watch out for each other. Good old North Dakota kindness
