Neighbors

Do you have one of THOSE neighbors? The kind, who, no matter what, just are always nasty and bring out the worst in you? I do. He's just......nasty. I can honestly say that I have tried my very hardest to forgive and forget and act nicely toward him even when he's not acting nicely, and it JUST DOESN'T WORK. He would actually make me consider moving to a different house just to get away from him. But the rest of the neighbors are so WONDERFUL that the fleeing instinct only lasts a few minutes (or days). Is it awful of me to wish he would have a heart attack or something?

One of my very best wonderful neighbors let the girls come over to rake up her leaves just to jump in them, since we didn't have enough down yet for a ginormous pile. We had to spread the leaves back out again when we were done, since her yard is huge and she has a gazillion trees, so I wasn't able to actually help her, but still....she's wonderful like that. I love having her nearby; she reminds me of my grandma, and takes away a bit of the heartache that I can't see her as often as I'd like to.

Gotta run....need to call Grandma for a bit of a pick-me-up.
