The Best Neighbors You Could Ever Have

A neighbor who is never too busy to help out

I moved in a new neighborhood three years ago. I am a widow of eight years. My neighbors across the road took me over. Even though I have children, they are all married with a family. So they took me over like a mother. I didn’t have a riding lawn mower, so I was mowing the yard about a week after I moved in. I was using a push mower. My friend and neighbor came over to mow the yard for me. That has been three years ago, and he has done it ever since. He has a shop, but is never too busy to help a neighbor or talk a spell when someone stops by. I can depend on them if I need them any time day or night. I would like for people to know there are still good people in the world. His name is Russell Jackson. The picture in the photo is how you always see him.
