My neighbors all have a goofy neighbor, and he is me.
Seriously, I think I've got the best neighbors in the world. We try to help each other when help is needed, and we leave each other alone when it's not needed.
I once had a neighbor who was pretty tough to get along with. I could do it, but it was a one way compromise, all his way. Nobody else in the neighborhood would deal with him, and I didn't unless I had to. He was digging a basement under his old two story farmhouse, and rain set in for a couple days. He said that in the middle of the night the excavation started caving in, and the house cribbing was slowly going in the hole. He said he needed help badly, and honestly couldn't think of a single soul that he could call for help. Sad story. He'd alienated everyone around the community to the point that he had no one to call in an emergency.
Remember the old crank phones and party lines? Our "ring" was one long and two shorts. You didn't mess with the phone if it wasn't your "ring". I was the youngest in the family, and I remember one night late the phone was ringing one long solid ring. Dad jumped up out of bed and picked up the receiver, but only listened. My brothers were getting dressed quickly, and when Dad hung up he hollered, "Neighbors barn is on fire." Out the door they ran to help fight the fire.
We've come a long way since then, but maybe not always for the better.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
