Good neighbors are a blessing
!
We live in a rural area and only have a few neighbors that are 1/2 mile away, but there is one in particular that surprised us by doing the nicest thing a couple winters ago. The whole area was having flood problems, and he noticed that while my husband and I were at work, our driveway was literally being washed away
! Our driveway is behind a locked gate and he actually contacted my MIL and had her open the gate so he could bring in his excavator and fix the road before it got too bad
!! We came home to him on his excavator fixing our road! If he hadn't of been there, or cared enough to do something about it, our road would have been destroyed!
Before this whole thing took place, this person had never really even met us before, except around Christmas I did bring him a plate of cookies, and he commented that his family was out of town, so he could have them all to himself
- - - - My husband still jokes that those cookies saved our driveway
!!
So, do you have some good neighbors to brag about, or maybe you have been a good neighbor??? What else makes today a happy day?

! My Mom lives too far away, but my MIL is like my 2nd Mom! I have to leave for work before my son has to catch the bus, and the bus stop is almost a mile from the house, so she picks him up and brings him to the bus every morning
