Once again I ponder the changes of a house. Not my house though. It’s the next-door house. Workers have been sawing, hammering, piling up old materials as they work to upgrade and improve the old two-story structure.

But I don’t like having all that noise, especially in the morning. That’s just the way it is for a while. I hope the people who move in will be quiet folks.
In the meantime, I do enjoy seeing the improvements. The contractor gave me a tour of what they’ve done so far: a bigger kitchen, new windows, and other rearrangements. They’re even going to tear down the fractured wooden fence (oh, there they go! I hear the sawing now!) and replace it.
Now I’m feeling like my house, or yard at least, will definitely need some upgrades. Of course, maybe I could convince the new owners to purchase mine and I can move somewhere nicer and closer to family. So this is not about “keeping up with the Joneses.” It’s about trying to move away from them altogether! Ha!
Alas, I probably won’t sell or move. I’ll just have to adjust to the changes around me and hope for the best. Looks aren’t everything. But having good, decent neighbors does make a difference, I hope I am one. Theresa M
