You hear of people like that... and with my MIL the same thing can either be o noisy or too quiet depending on her mood. Never give up! At least you have Mori-San on your side!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-68608780544531436422017-05-31T01:38:28.538-07:002017-05-31T01:38:28.538-07:00Even the simplest things you do like clearing weed...Even the simplest things you do like clearing weeds can turn into an adventure.

I respected their wishes and quickly and quietly moved away. A neighbor however, is much more difficult to ignore. Especially when he is really being ridiculous. <br /><br />Once when we went to an ice skating rink, a bunch of teenagers came up and took the little ones on the rink for me. They were so excited to practice their English. Another time we were at Disney, and Kevin came out of the bathroom to find the stroller surrounded by Japanese women taking photos of themselves with the baby with white blond hair and big blue eyes.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613890592830485572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-13963445085746616062017-05-27T06:25:07.632-07:002017-05-27T06:25:07.632-07:00Your story is so interesting.

I don't do plants except for when people throw their used Christmas trees out along the side of the road. Yes people do that - I don't know why - but there are two right now along the edge of my property that I need to clean up. What I do mostly is pick up garbage. And there is always lots of it to pick up. I have never seen anyone else in my town picking up garbage along the roadways except in the spring when the government pays groups to do a clean up of a certain section. Mr. Mori certainly sounds unhappy. Or perhaps mentally ill.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104565945520530658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-38312416650310281622017-05-26T21:44:47.405-07:002017-05-26T21:44:47.405-07:00Mr Mori sounds like a sad and lonely man.

We have neighbours who don't care about their gardens and don't mow their lawns, I don't like it. Love your alphabet quilt.jacarandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703529019767117993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-58296464841270927522017-05-26T21:03:18.369-07:002017-05-26T21:03:18.369-07:00Love the alphabet, and your story of the street we...Love the alphabet, and your story of the street weeding, I can imagine being there, and that is a true story teller's skills!!! Well done in every department, you can now rest on your "laurels" or whatever takes your fancy, and applique a little more.

People who sit looked up in their homes without friends or relatives often gets moody and snap at anything. Take care not too irritate this man too much. Why not ask your friend to contact the neighborhood associations for advice about the weed and litter. They should understand the risk of dengue fever from mosquitos and the temptation strewn litter can be for an arsonist. <br />A family near my home had a very messy tree (some sort of cherry?) that littered the street with its fallen fruit. The asphalt got so slimy it was a danger to walk on. The tree had to be taken down.<br />You are making another charming alphabet quilt.
