ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
I love my neighbors. That is the ones I know. A lot of them I do not know. I got acquainted a bit with some this spring when Covid made us stay in. I walked on the street enough to say Hi. Yes, we do need to be more generous with love buttons.
I want to pay tribute to wonderful people I have known, the wonderful country in which I live, the communities in which I have lived, the churches who have claimed me as their own, the God who sends shivers down my back when I really give him a portion of my time—well, maybe not shivers but tears flow easily in some of those most priceless times.
Sweet aroma 
Good advice! It never hurts go let things go with a neighbor, otherwise he or she can make life difficult!
That’s for sure – sharing trees, barking dogs, broken cars, dandelions – the list can be long. Thanks for the comment.
Great advice and insight! Blessings.
Thanks for the comment, Michael. Very true in real life. I guess Jesus summed it up with “he who is without sin casts the first stone.”
I wish there was a love button for this post. This really hits home with everything going on in this world….Grace.
I neglect my wonderful neighbor far too often. She prays for me daily. I am thankful.
I LOVE the idea of a LOVE button. If we had one to push it would change our hearts and ultimately impact all our neighbours EVERYWHERE.
