A Big Thank You, Friends

This post is dedicated  to our  friends and neighbors.

To the friends and neighbors with whom I shared  a casual conversation, friendly wave, a quick hello.

To the friends and neighbors that could call on us if needed, even if we hadn't spoke in a while.

To the friends and neighbors whose business I ignored.

To the friends and neighbors whose privacy I tried to respect.

As a neighbor, our family  has tried to keep to ourselves and have let you do the same.

We have not tried to cause discontent in the area, throw loud parties, rev our engines up and down the road at 3:00 a.m.

Although we have had many "visitors"  come and go  off our property, the ones that stayed were fed well,  doctored, spayed or neutered.     Those that couldn't stay we gladly  found their owners.

On occasion,  unexpected disruptions came, but were dealt with quickly.  We tried in earnst to rectify anything that would cause discontent, concern, or bring unwanted attention to our household.

Therefore, with the help of you, friends and neighbors, I thank you for the returned consideration.   The consideration you showed that has brought upon us unintentional disruption, wasted time, and a hefty fine.  

Thank you for thinking of us and showing us the error of our ways.   May some day we return the favor.
