| Like family
to us

My neighbor Harley Franklin, 64 years old,
is a sweet man. He always comes over to my house so he can talk
to someone, and he always brings something with him. He likes to
farm and grows a garden. He brings me (his
“little’n”) bags and bags of tomatoes, corn, squash,
beans and everything else he grows. He likes to come over for coffee
or to eat popcorn. Harley sometimes comes over on Thursday nights
to play bingo with me and my family. He treats us like family, and
he says we are like family to him. Sometimes, he takes my brothers
and me to the barn in his pickup to watch him feed his cows or his
horse. He gives me a Polaroid picture of every newborn calf and
makes sure I am the first one to see his newborn puppies. He is
the best neighbor I have ever had.
