Wish I knew this tactic when I was a kid, I'd have had so many cookies

When my mom had my brother we were living in a very small town in Inyo country ca. She had just moved there as a single mother of two with one on the way based upon the name of the town.

I was 5 and my sister was 6. We wanted to throw her a party when she returned from the hospital so we went to each of our neighbors and invited them. We also informed each neighbor what items to bring (cake, food etc), we sat and tore up newspapers for confetti with neighbor kids.

The party was a success.

That town was really supportive of my family for the years we were there. It a good place.

Edit: Thank you for the silver! Edit 2: howdy stranger thanks for the gold!

We have had a neighbor across the street when I was growing up who was retired. I use to love going over just to watch him work on his late 80s Jeep. He was rebuilding the engine, rewiring everything. I would constantly bug him with questions, he would answer every one of them and to the best of his ability try to get my 10 year old mind to understand it. I remember my mom told me to stop bothering me and told me I couldn’t go over anymore. After like a week he came by the house to check up on me to see if I was ok because he was worried. He spoke with my parents and assured them I was no trouble and finally I was allowed back over. That man set me on a path in life; I work on airplanes for a living now. I remember him and his wife becoming good friends with my parents and they even came to my oldest sisters wedding. Some neighbors are the best.

Edit: Thank you for silver kind stranger!
