Our neighbors are friendly but have young twin daughters who scream and argue all the time followed by the mother screaming at them to be quiet. The husband does offer to help my husband when he's doing stuff outside which is very nice.
I miss my old house in Maine, no neighbors for 100 acres behind the house, a mile to the left and a half mile to the right and in front of the house was the road that had almost no traffic. One the other side of the road that the house faces it was over six miles of thick pine trees. It was very isolated and so peaceful.
We had Dick and Jane, BORING! I hated reading them. I was so lucky my grandparents bought us Dr. Suess books and read them to us. They encouraged us to read the classics as well but Dr. Suess was always a family favorite. I read them to my children and my grandchildren. I still have the copies my grandparents bought and will be passing them onto my great-grandchildren someday.
When my kids went to school, I did the gym thing until my job kept getting in the way and it fell to the wayside. Now, I go a couple times a week, just to keep myself limber. I've talked about going to a pool, and I really think I need to get it done and stop talking about it.
I'm terrified of heights, there's no way Everest would be on my radar either.
Choosing how we interact in this world is key, but getting people to look at the bigger picture of how their actions affects others shouldn't be difficult but sadly it is.
Everything you discussed sounds perfect to me and just like you I would want everything trimmed. My husband does the same as your husband, it looks natural. Vic and I have been together 22 years and I wonder the same thing some days.
I had a beautiful day today. The sun was shining on my birthday after a week of rain.
I have received so many birthday wishes from my friends here at writing.com and each one has made my day even better.
My great granddaughter, who is four decided I needed a fairy garden in my garden. My present was a fairy garden in a box. It included two fairies, toadstools, butterflies and rabbits. She took them all outside and found the perfect spot. I wasn’t allowed to come outside until the job was complete. As it is going to rain she put nasturtium leaves to act as umbrellas to keep them dry. What more could make a great grandmother’s birthday the best.
