Gifted & Talented Neighbors
I really LOVE our neighbors.
No, really. REALLY!!
It's been snowing here almost every day for a week. K, our neighbor to our left, and I have begun walking in the morning to jumpstart the day. We head over to the campus or to the nature preserve (Yes, this is IN the city...Chicago is a city of trees). This is AFTER we have tried to beat each other out the door to shovel the other person's sidewalk.
It's become quite funny...who willl get to it first? Who will win? It is a strange feeling to suit up for the cold, grab your shovel, open the door and....
We then grab our shovels and use part of our walk to search out the folks on the street who we know that may need a hand with THEIR shoveling.
It feels good here.
Yesterday, Coco and Dave were visited by two folks...one person was their new vet, Dr. H, who lives 4 or 5 houses down the street. Dr. H only does house calls (except for surgery, when he picks up and drops off). I couldn't believe it when I heard it but it's true. Our neighborhood, with all of the pets within a few blocks, keeps him pretty busy.
He's kind and gentle with the pets and REALLY knows his stuff. (I wanted to be a vet when I was a little girl...then, I realized that I couldn't do surgery. Sigh)
We also have a neighbor, CT, who loves the dog and the cat and watches them for us when we have to go away. She is amazing with them.
Other neighbors are musicians, artists, carpenters, designers, amateur chefs...the list of talents is never ending.
We feel lucky. And often unworthy. But always very, very lucky...
