Here is something nice:
My Neighbor across the street died recently at age 103. He was an old bachelor carpenter, his house was built in the 50s and he and his brother lived there together for decades until the brother died Sometime ago.
Another neighbor next-door to the old bachelor carpenter, Ray, pretty much looked after him in the past decade. Ray is our age. Within a couple of weeks after the bachelor Carpenter died at age 103, Ray put up his house for sale and move to his other house at Lake of the Ozarks. He’d really been hanging around here for the past few years to keep an eye on the old guy.
Isn’t that nice? Ray is divorced. He also happens to be a relative by marriage of one of my Daffodil Society friends.
so it was great that the old guy had somebody watching out for him.
unrelated to main point: Also I learned that Ray mowed the lawn two doors down from us in the house has been vacant for many years. I do not understand why relatives hang onto these houses that are vacant.
Houses are selling like crazy on our street, in fact Ray’s on house sold for $400,000. Thatis a lot of money for Hermann, in the city, if it isn’t a Victorian bed-and-breakfast Inn. It does have a couple of acres with it though.
