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.

In this situation I can definitely see your point. With us every resident on our street is full time so I’m talking about vacations only, or occasional medical issues like a knee replacement where our next door neighbor couldn’t be alone for the first couple of weeks, so hubby spent some time visiting with him so his wife could have breaks to go to her water aerobics class. Simple occasional things like this.
