Neighbors....Random Tuesday Thoughts

randomtuesday



woohoo it is RTT day, how cool is it that Keely has made Tuesday a day for me to look forward to. Thks Keely

Neighbors....
Neighbor[1]
we used to have this neighbor where we used to live....very odd. I am having a brain fart as to where to start on this neighbor. He would wear that uniform during the day???? Even when his son was at school and other boys are at school, so we were never sure why. He would even mow the lawn in the uniform. The family had 2 kids, a boy and a girl both equally different. They never played outside; we never saw them ride a bike, play chase, scooter or catch bugs. Grandma lived there as well...then one day we did not see her anymore???? Now is the really off part...in the community that we lived in garbage pickup was a part of the HOA dues. They NEVER put out their garbage can on garbage day, just recycling. Why? It is already paid for...where is the garbage? Well after we moved to beautiful South Carolina we were told by another neighbor that they were caught dumping all their garbage in the backyard. Years worth of garbage in the backyard. Again, WHY? After watching "The Burbs" many times I have decided that well you know where I am going, remember the family member that just disappeared?
Now that a lot of families are downsizing, transferring to other cities to keep their jobs houses in our current neighborhood are up for sale which includes one of our neighbors. It's exciting and scary the same time....who we might get as a new neighbor. We could get a family like the one above. To say we are perfect neighbors would not be an accurate statement....we like to listen to our music rather loud on the back patio, we have a lot of stuff back there too which includes "redneck windchimes" that Chad gave us. Oh and my cockerspaniel Marley has a bit of a barking problem....she likes to bark at the birds and squirrels or anyone that walks by on the street. I will say though we like to have a goodtime and through an occasional party. New neighbors are like a box of chocolates....you never know what you are gonna get! So goodluck to the new neighbors whomever they may end up being.

  4. I am glad I don't have creepy neighbors. Wait, if every neighborhood has some, maybe we ARE the creepy neighbors? And also, the neighbors with the barking dog, loud music and slightly unkempt yard. I guess I would say we are the messy neighbors.

  5. Barking dogs? Ugh. I really really really hate barking dogs. I promise I won't move in next door to you. :)

  6. I'm a terrible neighbor. I may make too much noise at times or whatever..but really, I don't care who my neighbors are. I never see them. I think I keep odd hours or some such thing. Or perhaps I'm just odd.

    hmm

    :)

  8. Stopping by from RTT!! I never see my neighbors...I know, how wierd is that? We live in a cul-de-sac too but I never seem to see anyone. It's like they all leave their house at 5 am and return home at 11:00 pm.
