I get home today and I notice that the mail is here (and about 1.5 hour early). In the mailbox is just the newest Consumers Report magazine and a blank envelope. No writing, no stamp, nothing. This piques my curiosity even though I have a feeling it's just some wacky religious material we sometimes get that I enjoy "accidentally" leave laying around just to irk Big A.
I go in and set everything down and open the completely blank envelope. Inside was a $50 gift certificate to Aubree's. There was no note but after the talk he and I had last week, I'm pretty sure it's from Jim. Between our enjoyment of their happy hour food items (an $8 calzone with 2 items for a mere $4?! You can't beat that!) and my college alumni card that gets me a percentage off of our bill when there aren't specials, this is going to last quite awhile.
Tomorrow we are suppose to get up to 4 inches. Not enough to snow blow but after receiving this sizable gift, I just might have to personally shovel his sidewalks.

You are blessed with good neighbors! Enjoy the gift certificate.
It makes me wish that I knew all my neighbors as well as you. For the most part, we all live in our own little world.
Ed - It really helps if you've lived in the same place for 38 years as have most of the neighbors. ;-)
Congrats on the reward. One which is unexpected is always the best kind.
Cheers.
I grew up half a mile from my nearest neighbor. If there was that much snow, we couldn't get to one another. But I still miss them.
