Here's a story for ya.

I need to change the events and a few other things so I can tell you this story but not tell you this story.... if you know what I mean?Oh hell...here goes with the real story....

Remember the neighbors we had some trouble with on New Years Eve a few years ago? Friends at our house had some fireworks, neighbor got mad at us called Dominic a name, Dominic went over the next day to apologize neighbor didnt really accept it made Dominic crazy mad?

Ok well we havent really "talked" to them since then. Just barely a hi here and or there. Well the daughter is the same age as Joseph and has taken a fancy to him and has started to play with him. That's fine. They get along, she bosses him around and he lets her.

So I am outside with the kids and the wife is out actually watching her kid imagine that! And we begin talking about the house that is for sale in our court. I say I feel so bad for them the market is changing. She says "Well they have to move you know...things are tough for them right now" giving me a knowing look. I nod. Then the new neighbors come home. I love the new neighbors. They have big parties with loud music and a pool table in the garage I told Dom one time " I am sure old neighbors dont like new neighbors at all lets take them a case of beer to make sure the party last all night long" HA and they thought our single incident was bad.

So as new neighbor drives up she shoots them a dirty look and says "Well you know we're moving" and looks back at them. "I just cant take it any more" and a few more details I'll spare you. So I say "Where are moving to?" and of course it's the fancy part of town. I should have known.
There are a million more details, like the remolding they just did that now they are leaving behind. It seems so silly to me.
My dad says you cant control what your grown kids do our who your neighbors are. And I have found real trouble doesnt stay around long. To just pick up your things and move from your dream remolding seems so silly. You have let them win.
Maybe I have been a renter too long. I rather enjoy crazy neighbors they give me great stories. I honestly cant wait to see who moves into the two house that are for sale. I promise I'll share.
