rmaynard 15,304 #1 Posted December 24, 2012 Normally, we don't exchange any gifts with our neighbors. Through out the year though, we exchange favors when the need arrives. Recently, I lent my 12 foot utility trailer to one neighbor so that he could haul his tractor and leaf vacuum to his relatives house to pick up leaves. I never expected anything in return. So last night, I am sitting watching the Raven devour the Giants and a knock come on the door. It is my neighbor and his 5 year old daughter, bearing gifts. In the first box was a freshly baked pineapple upside-down cake, and in the other was this. Needless to say I was surprised. He knows my passion for the horses, and could not have gotten me anything better. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #10 Posted December 24, 2012 Nice shirt, and Pineapple Upside Down cake sounds good too. It is great to have and to be a good neighbor. Several years ago, I plowed snow from a couple of neighbors driveways. One neighbor brought over a fresh, and I mean right out of the oven apple pie for me, and another gave me a gift card to a restuarant. I wasn't expecting anything from them....I was just having a good time pushing snow! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually get a bag or 2 of Ploye mix from my neighbor for plowing after they come back from Maine. My other neighbor, one of their kids sets houses on fire and the other breaks into them. :jaw: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would confuse a few folks no doubt. :thumbs: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
