I just wanted to share this "precious" neighborly moment that I had last night. The phone rang and I answered it... "Pauline??" ---- "No, this is Barb - I think you have the wrong number". She told me who she was trying to reach...."I wanted to see if she could use some pickles."....."Do you have a garden?" She asked me. Now this person - whom I could tell was elderly --- did NOT know who I was at all!!! "Well, yes" I said "We do have a garden but we didn't plant any pickles." So she asked me "would you like some?"
Now you tell me........is this neighborly or what?!?!?!? I'm sure she knew she had called a local number and so it must certainly be someone nearby. And so she told me where she lived....and I know just where that is......so I will be going over there to meet a new "neighbor" and get to share some of her produce!!!
YUP!!! Life is like that out here on the prairies!! :-) The place is chock full of good people!!!
I'm thinking I should be more neighborly!!!!! You too?????
With love for all of you!!!! Barb

Barb,
Great story. Let us know what happens when you go to her house.

That is so cool!! Yes, it's a good reminder to be more neighborly. Glad you're surrounded by people like that. It's a blessing.
