Annyokie, speaking of mailmen, my parents live in a "neighborhood" that has all those restrictions about what you can and cannot do. My Dad makes calls to UPS, FEDEX, (and me) on a regular basis to see who has drove on the precious blades o' grass.

Well, my parents recently had new neighbors move in across the street from them. About 3 weeks ago, the new neighbors brought in a huge RV and parked it in their driveway.

My parents have their house up for sale right now, and so this irritated my Dad to no end. He ranted about what an eyesore this was and that the RV detracted from the "overall appearance in the neighborhood".

Last week, the neighbors were trying their best to get their RV backed out of their driveway; the husband was driving while the wife was guiding him. Turned out the wife was not too good at giving directions. The neighbors backed across the street and into my Dad's yard twice before my Dad went out to back it out for them. From what I gathered from my Mom's version of this episode, a lot of neighborly gestures were exchanged before the new neighbors' RV was on the street headed out.

When we went to my parents house yesterday, I noticed an RV parked at the house right next door to them. Needless to say, this will be an interesting winter!
