The Good Neighbor
Building our new house is very exciting for me, but I know that not all of my neighbors may share my enthusiasm in the construction process. For one, there are trucks and workmen on the street most days, along with extra mud when it rains and extra noise. I didn’t want everyone on the street to dislike me before […]
Want to be a blogger?
