neighbor etiquette
so we finally met the lady next door who's got the corner lot. her name is irma. she was out mowing and stopped to say hi... and made reference to some bush next to our driveway that is creeping only inches over onto her property. she asked if we wanted her son-in-law to chop it down when he comes in the fall. i said we hadn't thought about it much yet. it just seemed kinda weird, but i said we could talk about it when he shows up.
also, alan offered the lawn chairs on his front porch if we ever needed them. i thought that was very nice.
