OOPS! Welcome to the Neighborhood. :D

I would love to have a neighbor like you!

That is funny.

You'll have to let us know how they react.

Imp- I vote both flavors.

I would think that in a sence they would appreciate an alert neighbor. I sure would.

Nothing says "I'm sorry I'm a doof" like chocolate chip.

Actually, you were looking out for the house and the neighborhood. I would have totally done the same thing. Hopefully the new neighbors will appreciate it and laugh about it. Cookies and groveling should help.

I would be very grateful for your concerns...I have a vacant house next to me that I keep a hairy eyeball on and would not hesitate to call police if someone suddenly showed up in the middle of the night and started ratting around...and the owner of the property want me to do so...he does not want squatters or vandals...it is a time to be very cautious about many things...you did good...cookies and eggs would be a bonus for your new neighbors...

Wife and kids are coming but not there yet. Hmmmm. A casserole is a good idea but when are cookies ever a bad idea? If the wife and kids have not shown up, go with something kinda soft and very sweet. Fudge can be great. If you suspect the wife might show up, go with something more healthy, like maybe oatmeal. Chocolate chip might be a good compromise.

I'd definitely go over as soon as you can with an offering and apologize. I can't imagine you being anything other than up-front. Then pump them for as much information as you can about when the wife and kids arrive. Then get with the wife to really get the skinny on what is going on and why they are there. An offering of eggs might go well at this time. Hold off on the rooster until they build their coop, but maybe you could eventually offer to hatch some eggs for them.

Depending on your circumstances, an interesting welcoming gift might be a map of the area showing the names of their nearby neighbors, including kids. And what a way to get information out of them so they can be added to your map.

lol I called the cops on my neighbor a couple years ago. But he got arrested for having an outstanding warrant

I told him next time I yell "who is it" he'd better answer. lol But he grew up with DH and their dads knew each other when THEY were kids...

 

[gritsar]

Should we start calling you Gladys Kravitz?




Think about it for awhile.

 

[EmtheFishLady]

I leave you alone one night and you play detective? How red was your face?

 

[Orpingtons4U]
