I know what you mean about getting earphones. In our old neighborhood, we had 6 dogs behind us. When 1 barked, they all barked--often starting at 6 am. I don't miss that. Now if we could figure out how to shush the ducks in the pond.

However, living on a military base new residents swap out houses at an alarming rate, and we've currently lived on our block the longest. We've had our share of good and bad. With our last neighbors I was dying for a fence and some noise cancelling headphones, but our current round of Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146136846875431598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-24040015872360047302013-10-14T21:02:06.955-04:002013-10-14T21:02:06.955-04:00Our former neighbors were like that, helping each ...Our former neighbors were like that, helping each other.

Though, we do have a few who chose to live in their own little bubble and not say hi to or help out anyone.Jessica E.

Now we are waiting to see who moves into their home. The rest of the street pretty much keeps to themselves and I'm sort of sad about that. I do like having neighbors that I know will watch out for each other, but I'm also sort of glad that there's no drama. At my old house the one neighbor literally sat on their porch and called Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-55958718956229778892013-10-14T18:19:28.302-04:002013-10-14T18:19:28.302-04:00It's wonderful when you find a place with good...It's wonderful when you find a place with good neighbors.

We've lived in the same neighborhood for over 20 years now and we always joke that if one of us moves, the rest of the neighbors are going to have to go with them. Good friends!

The house where we live now has neighbors all around but luckily, they are all pretty nice and friendly. But we don't associate much. That's fine with me. It was my biggest concern when we did move...that I wouldn't like my neighbors.

He grew up in Detroit, sidewalks & walking to school. I grew up on a dirt road, neighbors far away, & rode a school bus. I longed for sidewalks and lots of neighbors. Now I'm more like you.
