Here's the key to our mailbox, if you would be so kind to check it to be sure no important mail is left for them and if so send it on to them? If the lawn people don't show up would you please let us know. We heard the power is out, can you check to see if we have it and if the airconditioner is working. You get the picture and if one's home is surrounded by snowbirds and even if they are best friends, it gets old in a hurry. There are services these "friends" could employ.
The snowbirds in our neighborhood don't impose like that. As I said - we're neighborly people here, we're not leeches.
