Sometimes it's just being neighborly. I'm sure they've done things
for you... kept an eye your house while you were gone, fed the cat -
there's always something they do for you that they don't want any sort
of gift or likewise favor for, so those out of the blue gestures are
what we do to say thanks for being such a good and kind neighbor.
