We all appreciate good neighbors
The ones who respect our privacy
Who are quiet and neat and tidy
They are there to lend a hand when needed
They will even loan a cup of sugar at times
They won’t peek into our backyard or windows
They won’t spread rumors about us in the neighborhood
They would be the ideal people to live next door to
But are we the ideal neighbors ourselves?

I think if we are good neighbours, we will have good neighbours. Unfortunately there can be exceptions 😊. Fortunately we are lucky.

I think we’re good neighbors. I had some awful ones before we moved. We had a vacation rental over the wall and they were so loud. They taught me to be a good neighbor.

Bad neighbors have their uses too. We have good neighbors too. And hopefully we are considered good too.

When I was younger, I spent more time next door with my neighbours kids than at home. Mum always sent me out for sugar.

You must have good memories of them.

I do. Mary (although she never liked being called aunty Mary) always helped Mum out. Apart from sugar, there were cigarettes too (different times) It was only ever a small amount, but she always gave half a bag of sugar. We hardly speak to our neighbours now, it’s a shame.
