Good neighbors -- they watch your back. And in return you do the same for them. If bound by nothing else, those we live among are integral to creating the place we call home.
Times are tight. We hear about our schools, senior centers, police and fire departments making do with lean budgets. We see costs increasing at the gas pumps, at the supermarkets, on our tax bills, health insurance, home heating, electric and telephone bills. Each of us has likely made a difficult decision to drop a nice-but-not-absolutely-necessary expense from our household budgets.
