Good Neighbor
As most of you know, I've been having some health problems. First, was an infection in my left foot. Then, a breathing problem that put me in th E.R. and off work for a week, And then, I got an infection in my right leg. Still have the problems, but to a lesser extent. Because of all this, my yard hasn't been mowed in months and was getting pretty high. Well, this afternoon there was a knock on my side door. It was one of my neighbors. It seems his wife saw my leg when I went to the doctor last week and he'd noticed I was off for a week and I've been having trouble walking. He had his riding lawnmower with him and told me he was going to mow the front yard to help me out. He lives one house away from me and is the same neighbor who told me about the guys trying to get in my house when I went on vacation last year. He said some neighbors had called the police. Wanna bet he called the police? I don't see any of my neighbors very often because of my work schedule and have nodding relationships with them. At least with the 2 houses that have been around more than 2 or 3 years. The other 2 rent houses change families about every 6 months to a year. I would never expect him to do something like that. It is a blessing that I'll remember.
