So happy to see you have a friendly neighbor!!! It isn't necessary to be best buddies, but a good neighborly friend is always good.
We are eating tomorrow with folk we wouldn't call close friends, but they are friends, we have helped them, they have helped us! The guys are Ham radio enthusiasts (us wives also have licenses, but just use it for emergency calls.).
THAT is friendship! Have a happy thanksgiving; there is much to give thanks for; we are alive, we can use computers, we have cyberfriends..some of us have spouses, Best Friends, Siblings with whom we bond.
I have decided I don't believe in the Anglican church, in which I was raised, or Christianity as a whole. BUT I am thankful that the caring and loving relationships taught to us are good in any religion... or non-religion!
Always be kind to your neighbor.
