My eyes are swelling with tears of guilt. You are so right OhioCouple. We do have to seize the momment. I'm tired of all the shoulda, coulda, wouldas. It's my own issues that do this to me. I've been recently battling with myself to go knock on my neihbours door. They are one of the sweetest 70 plus couples that I've met and some of the best neihbours I've ever had the pleasure of having. The husband planted our vegatable garden two years in a row. We didn't even know it then all of a sudden there was corn growing. Then every once and a while we would find a bag of vegetables on our porch. He snowblowed our driveway once but everyday he did his yard he would at least make sure the spot for our garbage cans was clear. His wife always has a sweet smile and friendly words for me. When I asked her what I could do for them she said " Just share the baby". That makes me sadder because I'm aware that they don't have family around these parts. They're lucky if their son and only grandchild can make it out for Christmas. We've had such busy lives that I haven't been able to get to know them all that well but now my life is a little easier and I have no exuse. I guess I don't want to be a bother to them.
I'm going to take this post as a sign and bite the bullet and get to know my neihbours. All of them. I'll take it as a big kick in the butt
