"I've lived in my house now for 4 yrs and I know every neighbor around me by first and last name. we all look out for each other and we all help one another when someone needs something. everyday that I go outside it is always peaceful and the neighbors don't bother me unless I'm up by the road checking my mail or working on a project in my workshop. we are always talking as I am almost always working on something."
