I'm always up for making snacks or dinners for my favorite buds. Most of us that have been married a long time now (geez, for me that's 30 years!!) prefer to save money & visit each other at various homes to "hang" & enjoy life, food, music together.

There are 5 houses total, of neighbors here - it's been up to 8 at one point but they've moved --- in the evenings during the summer, we get together on someone's back porch and drink and eat and laugh and listen to some tunes, etc. During the week sometimes too - like a few drinks after work and such and maybe some dinner too. We're all on the same block. In the mornings on weekends, we'll do coffee and plan what we're doing that day - who needs help with what, etc. We've helped build decks, added a room to a house, etc. Big project stuff and such. But during the cold months, we never see each other. Only for Christmas / New Year's. But when summer comes around, we're all outside again. I love this. I'm sure I'll never have neighbors like this again if I ever move.
