In '79 we bought our first house in a rural area. The property had been neglected and the To Do list was long. On the day we were moving in, we drove up and were surprised to find our lawn mowed. Turns out the old fellow next door was the father of guy who built the house. He was glad to see someone moving in and fired up his ride on mower. I got to know that old mower pretty well, as it liked to throw the drive belt from time to time and the old fellow couldn't get down to work on it.
While we were there we helped him get groceries and visit his sister who lived about 5 miles away. Eventually he moved into a care home but we couldn't have had a better "welcome!" to the neighborhood.
Good neighbors are worth looking after.
