This evening Elaine and I were at a 25th anniversary celebration for the couple who live next door to us to the north. It was at the community centre in our area with many of their family, including some from as far away as Alaska and Florida, and many of the neighbours as well. Their son made BBQ pulled pork and chicken in his custom made barbecue unit which is over 8 feet long on a trailer behind his truck. It is bright red with 4 chrome smoke stacks on the top. We wish we had a picture of it.
We were glad to go to the anniversary since this couple have been very good neighbours. In winter he clears snow with his quad ATV with a blade across our two adjacent driveways. And the last few years he has rototilled our garden when he does his. They travel a lot both winter and summer and Elaine always looks after their place while they are away. It is great to have good neighbours.
The older woman who was our neighbour to the south just moved away this week and the house is up for sale. Her husband passed away a year ago and I had a blog post then that we lost a good neighbour. They were our neighbours for over 30 years moving in about one year after we did. She would have liked to stay in the house a couple more years but her family wanted her to get a condo. Before she left she told Elaine that she is praying that with the house sale we will get good neighbours. That is our prayer as well.
