This is awesome, and pretty much how we are with our neighbors around here.

As just one example, one of my neighbors took care of all our animals except the goats when we went to New York over Christmas (and except Lolo, who we took with us), and the neighbor behind them took care of our goats.

When we came home, we brought them all real Polish kielbasa for their efforts, and some outstandingly delicious Polish candies. 

When the husband of the first neighbor was laid low with a bad cold, I brought him over some of my spiced honey to help him get well faster, and she calls me regularly to consult on different things she's doing, or just to make sure I'm still breathing in and out.

This afternoon, I'll be going over to help the other neighbor learn how to use his new laptop, since he's never had a computer before, which should be fun. And a couple of weeks ago, after his DVD player gave up the ghost, I set up his new Blue Ray player for him.

And we've all been trading around plants, seeds, homemade goodies and more, for as long as we've lived here.  

We lucked out with neighbors when we moved here, but really, we've had good neighbors everywhere we have lived . . . the real key is to actually meet them and talk to them!

Rarely in my life have I met anyone with whom I couldn't establish at least some common ground.
