Nothing Beats Great Neighbors

David and I live in an older house and so far, knock on wood, we have been very fortunate with "home repairs." Well, lately, our lights have been flickering on and off to the point that it turns off the computer, so we knew we had an issue. Our neighbor Scott is an electrician, so he came over to assess the problem. From a woman's perspective, this is what we had to do....We replaced the entire breaker box, had to run a new grounding thing and put a new antena on top of the house. Little did I know that this ordeal would take about 6 hours. We started at 6:30 last night and finished in the wee hours of the morning today. What was so amazing to me though was that ALL of our neighbors came by to help...and most of them stayed until the bitter end at 3:30 a.m. when Decatur Utilities came back to turn our power on. I know there are some people that don't have the luxury of living in a place like we do and have truly good people surround you. Our street reminds me a little bit of Mayberry, with everyone helping the others, all watching each others kids, sharing meals and generally looking out for one another. We are blessed to live where we do and have such great people surround us!
