Needy Neighbors - That's Us!

Hi,

It has been in the high 50's today, a real taste of spring! I have rested all week and am planning on heading back to work tomorrow. I still have a wheeze, but I understand that it just takes time to get over.

We are the neediest neighbors! What would we do without neighbors that will come on a moments notice and bail us out of trouble? And bailing is what was needed this spring day. Snow kept falling last month, and had no place to go. It was pushed into large piles. Now, as it melts, it has drained into our basement, and our front walk was a river! Our neighbors came and helped chip away ice in the yard to make a path for the melting water that was accumulating out front, carried ruined rugs out of the basement, and assisted with general water control! All working together disaster has been averted. Fans and the dehumidifer are running in the basement, and Keith is still running a drainage hose from the front of the house to try to divert some of the melting snow.
It will freeze again tonight, and we will start over tomorrow. But in the meantime, we are grateful for the help our neighbors once again gave. We can't do a lot of physical things to assist them, but we can watch their dog when they are on vacation, bake some cookies, and tell them how grateful we are for their help.

Stay warm and dry!
love
Aunt Betty
