I bought the house next door to me mum about six years ago so she could enjoy a few more years alone in her own home. She never comes over unless she is invited or I need help. She knows me well.

On the rear, an adults only apartment complex was built. It had to be rezoned and the developer agreed to no rear doors or patios. So, they are great neighbours... no noise, no squabbles and much more "private" for us.

On the other side, we help and look out for each other. Other than that, we don't mix much. Better that way. Several of the neighbours past the "other side" used to mix. Now they are squabbling... or so I heard and quickly said, "Don't know anything about it. Don't wanna neither."
