Knowing Neighbors makes a neighborhood a happier place to live
My wife and I have hosted monthly coffee & conversation meetings at our home since 2022. Neighbors are the people who live near us. Just like friends, they are important to our lives. Neighbors can help us when we need something, like when we need someone to watch our home, or collect our mail, while we go on vacation. Good neighbors also make our neighborhood safe because they look out for each other. It is awesome to see neighbors that make the effort to meet with other neighbors. A good neighbor means being friendly, helpful, and kind to the people around us. Sometimes, between sips of coffee, we talk about how things are in the neighborhood. Sometimes we talk about the good old days in Oak Hollow Park, but lately more about changes that could bring our neighbors together, if we all had a better way of connecting with more neighbors.
Sometimes we tell stories. For example: Like the day when my wife dragged me to the movies. About half way through … she nudges me and says, can you believe it, the guy sitting in the row in front of us is snoring. And I said, “You woke me up for that?”
