AW: I love our neighbors

[sugarbear]

They are an eccentric, older, child-free couple. She works, but he is very much a hermit. We visit with them almost every day. They watch our kids often: she takes DS1 on bike rides to the park, or will hang out with DS2 while I run to the store.

She's been working late this week, so we haven't seen much of either of them (she drives the interactions, usually, but lately he's been coming outside without her). She just sent me this email:

"Don't tell (DH) I said this...
He said it was kinda lonely last night without “the boys” around.

We texted each other about how your sons have captured our hearts."

I feel so lucky.

Our neighbors got busted for cooking meth.
You win! lol

Sometimes my neighbors cook us dinner.
Not quite the same, is it?

I'm thinking not.  Our other neighbors invited us to their backyard wedding.  But I'm pretty sure they just didn't want us to complain about the music till midnight.

What a nice story to share- thanks!
Maybe not right away (& you're probably already planning to), but a random note or email stating your gratitude @ having such wonderful neighbors (maybe w/ a kid drawing or 2? would probably mean a lot!

Yes! Their kitchen is a tribute to DS1's emerging artistic talents

That's really sweet. Having awesome neighbours would be so great. Ours are nice, their kids are adorable and they love our dogs.

I legit teared up at that. You're both so lucky.
