Recently, we realized we have different ideas and expectations about neighbors. It went like this:
Her: Yeah, I want some space. My closest neighbor should be about a quarter mile away.
Me: A quarter mile? That's like...from here to the corner. No! That's way too close! I want my closest neighbor a mile away.
Her: But, you want them somewhat close - in case of emergencies.
Me: A mile is plenty close. A few minutes by car or twenty on foot.
Her: (frustrated) You do know that YOU would be my closest neighbor?
Me: Uh huh and YOU know that YOU would be MY closest neighbor?
Her: And you still want me a mile away?
Me: Uh...yeah! You blast that Karaoke machine when you have parties!
Her: You're always at my parties.
Me: Oh.

Have you thought about Minnesota? Come on girl.
sounds like you have senior moments!
I think a mile between neighbors sounds right. Close enough for when they're needed but far enough away that they don't drop in every day. :-)
Becky, Minnesota = Cold. We don't do cold... in spite of having warm friends there!
Janet, We COULD blame it on senior moments except...we've always been this way!
