When is the last time you used that word? I hadn't heard it for years until Shirley used it in an e-mail.


"V was here bright and early this morning to get the tractor and snow blower to clean out his yard. He also does a couple of his neighbors yards. An older couple and a widow that don't have a prayer of getting out or anyone getting in without the snow blower. They always want to pay him, but K has taught him over the years that stuff like that is "neighbor work", and you don't get paid for being a good neighbor. V and K always get fresh homemade buns from the widow and delicious cookies from the couple at Christmastime. These poor older folks that have to try to survive on their SS! "


And I teased her about getting home made buns because my Sweet Thomas was being neighborly as he cleared the driveway of the woman to the east and didn't get any hot buns! BUT then, he saw a lady to the west trying to lift the heavy snow with a shovel. After he got the sheared pin replaced, he did her driveway.


And Sue, was neighborly and brought him an apple pie.


Shirley wrote, NEIGHBORLY ROCKS!!!


AND IT DOES


Try neighborly.
