My husband and I live on the best block in Brookfield, actually anywhere in the USA. What our neighbors did for us last weekend was amazing. They took it upon themselves to transform our slightly overrun-with-weeds backyard into a wonderful oasis. Roto-tilled, laid new sod, chipped out a tree stump, replanted the borders with flowers and evergreens and repainted the lawn furniture. They even created a flower border in our front yard. Added slightly used porch furniture also.
It was truly a transformation and the best part was to see six RB students having a good time, doing a good deed for an elderly couple on the block. We have watched each one of them grow up to be these amazing teens willing to help out where needed. Their parents deserve a lot of credit.
My husband Frank & I are overwhelmed with the love shown to us by everyone on the block whether they helped out physically or monetarily. We finished off the day by having a block party, a bonfire, and watching the Cubs on Big Screen outside to the end, with a bit of libation to keep us warm.
Thanks again, Arthur neighbors & God bless.
