The Next-Door Neighbor

She brings us:

home-made soups,
pork dinners with potatoes,
corned beef and cabbage dinners,
fresh vegetables,
fresh fruits,
magazines,
candy she doesn't want.

Recently, she bought Allen a sweater, and a purse and blouse for me.

So, when I didn't have any St. Patrick's Day decorations, she went out and bought some for me!

Today, I put up my few Easter decorations;

 I do not want her to feel like she has to buy some for me.  What a neighbor!

Overwhelmed with Gratitude

11:30 "Here's some enchiladas my father made," she said handing us the dish with fresh home-made Mexican food.
12:30 "Here's some really good hamburger meat that we can't eat because our freezer is full...why don't you take these 3 packages?" they asked as I drove by and waved.
4:30 "Here's a little Halloween token because you've been so good to us," said the new neighbor handing me a box of Mrs. See's chocolates.

Not every Saturday is like this, in fact, NO Saturday is like this, but my heart was full of gratitude for good, good neighbors.

Goodness and thoughtfulness and generosity transcend religion, race, and creed.
