What makes a good neighbor?

Is it being quiet? Keeping the yard nice! All these things we have done pretty well. I have always thought that hey you know we are pretty darn good neighbors, no parties no super loud music or at least no bad loud music, I am known to jam out to Aerosmith here and there. Anyways, Brett and Jolie went out to our neighbors to sell Girl Scout Cookies. They were gone for about 3 hours. I seriously was ready to send out the search team when they came in the door. I was happy to see they sold some boxes and had smiling faces. He went on to tell me that everyone of our neighbors invited them into their house to chat. They all wanted to know who we are and who lived in that house on the end of the street. Our house is back a little ways so sometimes its hard to see. Brett said it was so neat to meet everyone and get to know them more. It really inspired him to be a better neighbor and get to know more people. It made us realize that just being quiet isn't always the way to being a good neighbor.
