The weekend is once again over and back to the working world. It was a good weekend. We managed to get a good amount of cleaning in and had some nice enough weather to get outside to work on the front yard. Nothing big just cleaning up some of the leftover leaves and bit of grass growing where it shouldn't.
We also invited some of Emma's co-workers over for dinner on Saturday night. Emma made some really great Turkey Enchiladas with salad and then some wonderful Sopaipilla's!! Man were they good (and pictures with recipe's to come soon on her blog). But of course the dinner wouldn't be a normal event in our "hood" unless one of our crazy neighbors decided to knock on the door to give us a bit of information. Ok I guess it's not "normal" for our neighbor to come over and knock on our front door but I guess you could say it would be expected! But of course what he had to say was the really nutty part. He said, "hey sorry to bother you but do you have anything to do with that truck parked out there across from my place?" And I said...."well yes our friends are over for dinner and that's their truck." For a split second I thought that maybe something was wrong but then I realized who it was that was asking the question. He is the crazy guy that lives across from us that we see occasionally yelling at other people who are parking in front of his place. And at one time last year he got sooooo upset while mowing his lawn that he was trying with every bit of hate to get as many grass clippings he could on top of the car. Mowing back and forth and back and forth shaking his head the entire time....occasionally turning back to look down the street to flip off one of my other neighbors! It turned out that car had broken down and the neighbor down the street knew who's vehicle it was. And of course we always enjoy a little drama to watch out our front window!!! Anyway back to the crazy guy at the front door. So after I tell him that the vehicle belongs to our friends he says "do you think it would be possible to have them move it because I can't get any reception on my tv!!" He continues, "I am not sure why but when ever someone parks their car in front of my place I get no reception on my tv for some reason." So I think to myself.....ok......and tell him that we will move it to our driveway instead....but of course making sure that was "ok" with him.
So I suppose the mystery has been solved of why he was so upset and makes total sense now.....NOT!!!!!!!!! Maybe he is the reason for the demise of our wonderful and very informative NEON SIGN last year.
Oh and a bit of info.....he lives in the house across the street....which he actually doesn't own and has been condemned by the city for some reason.
GOOD TIMES!!!
