Things we like about our new neighbors (some of them):

1. They have cute kids who like to play with us.
2. They like to play ping pong.
3. They let us use their pools, spas, etc. while ours are unfinished.
4. They invite us to their vacation homes (haven't taken them up on it yet).
5. They bail us out when needed (one was there to accept delivery of our BBQ when we couldn't be there).
6. They know way more about landscaping and have been hugely helpful.
7. They have beer on tap in their BBQ islands.
8. All in all, they are nice, fun people.

Things we don't like about our new neighbors (a different set of people):
1. They want us to plant more trees to shield off their yards (after all we have a bigger yard). HELLO? Plant your own GD trees!
2. When we don't plant the trees they want, they plant a whole bunch all in a really crowded row right next to the wall (I'll post a pic of this later!).
3. When one of the cute kids is in OUR yard and finds a marble, another neighbor tells the child that he shouldn't take the marble without asking us first because WE MIGHT COLLECT MARBLES!!! I kid you not.

So I have a simple question for you: How many people our age collect MARBLES??? I know we are one of the youngest couples in the neighborhood (and not even by that much), BUT WE AREN'T 8!!!! What's up with that? This is also one of the tree demanding people.

Luckily the nice outnumber the weird and by and large we hardly even see the weird ones . . .
