My next door neightbor is over right now. I used to play with their kids when I was younger. Her youngest son is my age and i remember his older sister telling me he had a crush on me when we were real little. I stopped talking to them years ago. Right now my neighbor and my mom are talking about how her son got his girl friend pregant. He's stopped going to school and his girl freind got kicked out of her house so she's living with then now. I remember last summer I remember the bond squad comeing really early on a saturday morning because some guys left two bombs on their front lawn. They think it was their daughter's ex boy friend. The bombs weren't big enough to like blow up the whole neighbor hood but I remember their dad being really mad because when the bomb squad set them off with guns they left two good size crator on his front lawn and splattered dirt all over the house.
When I was really little I remember a cross-dresser who lived down the street from us. he used to walk down the street by our house in a pink flowery dress and high heels. My sister and I would sometimes be outside playing with chalk in the drive way. He had such a pretty smile.
My neighbors (on the other side) when I was little was a very old couple who died in their home one by one.
When the house was sold a young couple moved in. They had a son and two twins, one a girl and one a boy. My sister and I used to baby-sit for them all the time and it took both of us because they were so wild plus two infants are tough. They had a lot of problem with money. The dad would buy them new TV and surround sound but then they wouldn't have enough for important things like dippers. When my sister and I would baby-sit the dad would always come home later than he was supposed to. But whatever, more money for us! lol It was aparent that the dad was not happy with where his life was at. He wanted to go sking and stuff like he used to but you really can't when you work two jobs and have three kids, two of whom are infants. But we never thought he'd no anything. One day he came home drunk and started yelling at his wife and started getting violent with her so she called the cops. When they came he tried to get them to shoot him and he then punched one. He got placed under house arrest for punching an officer and was sent to therapy because they said he was suicidal because he wanted them to shoot him. They realized that they couldn't afford their home anymore and tried to move but couldn't for a long time because he was on house arrest. They didn't realize that though when they sold the house so they got kicked out with no where to go. They were thinking about staying at a camp site but they couldn't even do that. They stayed at a motel until they could move. The left behind a bunch of stuff one of which was their cat critter who was adopted by the family that moved in after them. I used to feed him on my back pourch when he didn't have any owners.
