Is it Thursday?

Hi everyone!

Thank God it's almost Friday and time for a LONG weekend!

QOTD:  Well I don't have bad neighbors, just kind of lazy.  Their house has gone to pot....a mess most of the time onthe outside.  I've known these people for a long time.  When I got divorced in 2003, the house that I grew up in happened to be for sale!  So I bought it.  They were the same neighbors that lived there before I left home and went off to college.

The husband is somewhat disabled with bad knees, and the wife works.  They never do their yardwork such as mowing, raking or shovelling.  In the winter, I started going over there and snowblowing their driveway for them.  Then, last fall when I was raking my yard I just did their yard too....They have TONS of leaves and they kept blowing into my yard so I figured if I raked theirs, it would save me from having to rake mine over and over again.  Now, this past summer, I mowed their grass.  I think they've come to expect it.  I think I'm nuts just going over there and doing it, but I couldn't stand looking at it, it was almost 6 inches tall.....so as I mowed mine, I'd do theirs too.  She did thank me and say her husband just couldn't do it anymore and she was busy working (and I'm not????)  I really don't mind helping people like that out at all, but what gets me is they have a daughter that lives at home who's probably in her 30's....why on earth doesn't she get out there and do it?? 

They have these seedlings growing out of their gutters....lots of them....and now they are about 12-15 inches long.....pretty soon they'll have trees growing off their roof!!!!  I so badly want to get my ladder, go over there, and clean out their gutters.   But I just can't get myself to do it

Have a great day everyone!!

WOW Nan!  Will you buy the house next to me  You are such an .  I too would do what you do if they were both unable to but, with a grown daughter in the house.....unless she to was disabled.  We plowed for the old guy next door when he had a heart attack and had to have a visiting nurse.  His grandson, whom he had band from his propery,  took care of everything on the weekend but, we wanted to make sure the nurse could get in.  My DH plowed the whole 3/4 mile from the old guys house to the main road as our county is out of money and wasn't plowing dirt roads.

It's funny my boys are always saying 'mom, why are you doing the neighbors yard?' whenever I do their yardwork and I tell them.....'You know, because what comes around goes around so I'm hoping someday when I can't do my lawn or my driveway someone will come do it for me'  :-)    
 

Afternoon everyone.  I haven't been eating much because of stress, which is bad but good too since I used to turn to food for comfort, at least I know I won't do it as easily after surgery.  Now if I could just kick the pop addiction I'd be doing great.

QOTD- In general I have good neighbors, the one I share a driveway with will plow my half in winter because he has a snow blower and doesn't like me leaving the kids in the house to shovel.  I will miss him when I move....maybe I could take them with me......anyway since I live in a Trailer park there are some people that annoy me, but nothing serious.  I do have one neighbor that used to come over all the time uninvited, but I think she over heard me talking to my mom and dad about the fact I thought she was off her rocker, she doesn't come by anymore.

Have a good day everyone!

What is "protein coffee"?

I take a protein shake mix and add enough milk to make a paste.  Than I add it to my coffee for a "protein coffee"  Some times I add sugar free flavored syrup  to it too.
