New Neighbors

With just the slightest amount of
trepidation, I walked next door to welcome our new neighbors.
They were sorting through their recently delivered
belongings, stacked high in the garage. I could see that progress was being
made.
Turns out to be an older couple, somewhere near my age
I guess. Wow, just pairing 'older couple' with 'near my age' is something I've
never owned up to before.
Regardless, they are extremely
nice folks.
Praise sweet baby Jesus & all
the saints! I may not a religious man by any stretch of the imagination – but
there just might be a god after all.
I can say this plainly enough as
the last tenants were young drunken buffoons in love with massive sound
systems.
When they finally left a couple
of months back, I turned my stereo up, just ever so slightly, popped a nice
bottle of wine, and toasted our new found peace with the Hallelujah Chorus.
But then I began to worry as to
who would take their place since it’s been hit or miss when it comes to tenants
in this unit over the years.
However, it looks like Christmas
came early, as I have just left the garage next door, not having seen a single
woofer speaker anywhere in sight.
