Neighborly Neighbors

Yesterday evening, we received a knock at our door. When I opened the door, the two boys who live next door were standing on the front porch with a plate of homemade muffins, a very kind note, and a CD that they bought for us because they thought our family would enjoy it. It's really nice to live next door to such nice people!

They, unfortunately, live next to some very UN-neighborly neighbors. No, silly reader, I'm not referring to my family! I'm referring to the people that live on the OTHER side.

The neighbor in question chased our previous neighbors away. Seriously. The reason that our former next-door neighbors moved was because they didn't feel comfortable in their own house because of the unfriendly and downright aggressive actions of the people next door. It's sad, really.

I'm not going to go into specifics--its really not MY problem, because I haven't had any negative dealings with these particular people. Suffice it to say that the unfriendly, aggressive behavior has continued.

It saddens me. Because my new neighbors who have been so kind and friendly to us have to deal with such ugliness that shouldn't be happening in the first place.

I hope they don't end up feeling like they have to move as well. I would miss them as much or more as I miss my previous neighbors.
