What are neighbors for?

Nearing the top of my list of things I am grateful for these days is our neighbor, Michelle.  The other day when I came down with a raging case of mastitis (which p.s. was nearly as painful as childbirth), I called her and she loaded me up with cabbage leaves and something called Groovy Booby oil, no lie.  Mastitis? Gone in a couple of hours.  Today she came over and did a little traditional healing herbal bath with Jasper in his kiddie pool and I SWEAR it totally helped him with his anxiety about his mama hanging out with another baby. He was a different child this afternoon than he has been the last week and a half. Plus, she's hilarious, works from home (thus being a good source of adult conversation for moi), and has two daughters who like to babysit.  I couldn't ask for more.
