Looking for new neighbors.

I don't like my neighbor.

He's a perfectly nice guy. Works for UPS. Divorced. Has two daughters who are around 7 and 10. Keeps his yard nice. So what's the deal? Nobody's ever there. Unless his girls are with him, he stays at his girlfriend's place. What a waste of prime good-neighbor space. There could be a nice young family with a couple of small kids. The mom and I would become friends. Chat over the fence. We could take turns watching the kids play in one backyard or the other. Hang out inside on cold, rainy days. Or, it could be a retired couple. The husband keeps an eye on our house and yard for us. Advises us about home repair decisions. Wave at each other when going to get the mail. It would be like having our parents next door except better.

I don't really like our neighbor's daughters either. I used to be more tolerant of kids. Heh. They came to our house on a couple of morning for me to drive them to school when their dad had to be at work early. The older one is perfectly fine, smart, well-behaved, etc. But she doesn't like Daniel. She doesn't like him drooling on her or trying to crawl in her lap. But he really likes her. The younger daughter is totally wild. She came to our house once with her dad, ran upstairs after one of our cats and locked herself in the bonus room with the cat so that she could play with him. She's one of those kids who asks about and comments on the exact things you don't want her too. "What's that red mark on your face?" Uhhh. It's a zit.
