Nice but gabby neighbor

Tweet

My neighbor is so sweet. She does all she can for her family and is teaching her teenage kids good work ethics. She is the one that sends over someone to mow the yard when it needs it. One time I did not even have the money but she said I could pay her son later. She even had her daughter come do it once because we needed it and her daughter needed some shoes. How wonderfully old school is that. I really love this lady. She came by to bring us a Christmas card this morning and daughter was on the back porch relaxing before laying down to sleep because she works tonight.(my daughter, not neighbor) I feel I should ask her in as she is nice and it is only courteous. plus she has several health issues and always inquires about mine. But, the lady (neighbor) really loves to talk I can relate because I love to talk too. But there is a time you start feeling like (or I do) you have to go on about your business or like myself just lay back down. How do you do that without being rude? Daughter had come in by then prepared to lay down and I could tell she needed to but no one knew how to break the conversation. Finally I just said " oh J. , I can see you are getting sleepy and need your rest. " to my daughter. Right away neighbor picked up on it and said she needed to get back. she seemed okay with that too. So I just hope she doesn't feel I did wrong to her. she seemed fine with it. How do you handle this? And heres another nice card we can hang up.
