Both you Crow Bar and Homesteading Mama are indeed fortunate for such good neighbors. Here we are getting an influx of suburbanites, often not from this state originally. They seem to have a different perspective on things than do the “natives”, who are very friendly and helpful. We still wave to each other as our vehicles pass on the road. The others… never.
Last week we lost power due to the remnants of Michael passing through. I called several neighbors to see how they were getting along. One elderly couple, both in ill health, had no power, too. I carried a generator down and ran it so they wouldn’t loose their food stores in the refrigerator and chest freezer. Neighbors just do that. The old man tried to pay me and seemed to get a little upset when I wouldn’t accept any pay. He couldn’t seem to understand “Neighborliness”. (He’s originally an urbanite and not from here). You two have community. You both should do well.
