Be the Neighbor You Wish You Had

“Stay off my lawn!” We often heard that when one of us hit a home run in whiffle ball. A home run was a hit that landed in the yard of the neighbors across the street.

“Stay out of my gardens!” We heard this often, also. The neighbors on the corner would tell us that when a football got loose and rolled beyond their driveway.

“Please don’t climb the fence. You might get hurt.” We heard this once from Esther Bundy shortly after Todd’s dad put a hoop up for us in his new parking area behind their home.

We would hear the first two neighbors tell us time and time again over many years to stay off the lawn and out of the garden.
