It took a little adjusting. We lived on acreage before we moved here, so I was not used to having so many people so close together.
I Love it now. There are 65 homes in our neighborhood and everyone knows everyone.
You can find an everyday meeting at the mailboxes.
To tell you how wonderful the people are here. One of our neighbors, his name is Bill turned 91 last Saturday. Now this Man has been a Bachelor all his life and always kept to himself.
Always polite and waving as he drove by our Cottage.
Every so often my Husband would take over a home cooked dinner or baked goods that we would share.
Last January he was no longer able to drive. His daily routine consisted of coming and going in to town about 3 times a day. To Breakfast, to watch the fishermen at the Harbor and to the Market.
Well that all stopped as he no longer has a Car.
I have noticed the other day this Man looks so Happy.
The difference in his life is that now he sits still on his front porch going nowhere but now seems to have contact with more people than ever.
The Fishermen friends stop by to visit and all of us neighbors make the effort to go to see him.
One neighbor even rounded up a scooter now so he can drive around our 5 streets here in our little community.
He recieves meals on wheels and lots of great foods from many of us also.
He is a joy to talk to and a wealth of knowledge.
What a difference it has made in his life and what a gift he is giving to all of us younger folks.
He never complains and never gives up.
Wish you lived next Door
Mama Zeno
