Fictional Story: The Dalton family welcoming the new neighbors the Austin family

Joey Austin 13, decided that he would do volunteer work delivering newspapers to the next door neighbors. Originally from Cleveland, OH, Joey and his family just moved from Cleveland to Lafayette, LA. Joey thought that it would be a really nice gesture to do little errands like deliver newspapers, wash the neighbors cars, go to the store for the neighbors and do grocery shopping, etc. Being the "new kid on the block" would also be a good way that Joey can make friends. Joey's next door neighbors happened to be the Dalton family. Richie, Lorraine, and their daughter Lillie Dalton 14, really have bonded with Joey and his family. The Dalton family are outgoing and outspoken people who are proud unapologetic Conservatives who are licensed and own a rifle & the Dalton's are proud members of the NRA (Pro 2nd Amendment).

Meanwhile, Joey is trying to adapt to Southern life moving from Southern New England to the Southeast in Louisiana. Every time Joey rides his bike to deliver newspapers to the neighbors, the neighbors always bless Joey with money or a good southern style home-cooked meal. The Dalton's let Joey know where they stand whenever Joey deliver newspapers. The Dalton's "don't take no for an answer," Joey understands that the Dalton's will always give Joey money and a good home-cooked meal every time. Joey made a mistake one time of saying "no thank you" but got grilled by Lorraine Dalton and from that incident always said "yes thank you" when the Dalton's bless Joey. The neighbors could see a kind-hearted person in Joey that they don't mind Joey baby-sitting their toddlers, walking their dogs, or even cleaning their yard.  The Dalton family are proud country 'folk and the Dalton family are very hospitable whenever they invite people over their house for special occasions.

Joey is going to the 8th grade and Joey's parents Dan and Shirley is thinking about homeschooling Joey. The Dalton family have home-schooled their daughter Lillie since 5th grade. You can only begin to imagine what that experience is like in the Dalton family. Lillie has been on so many field trips both in state and out of state. Lillie keeps a scrapbook filled with pictures that Lillie have taken on those field trips. Joey has been in public school from Kindergarten- 4th grade and has now been in private school from 5th- 7th grade. Joey has been on maybe a few field trips that he can honestly say that is worthy of talking about. Joey and his family have moved from the ghetto inner-city of Cleveland to Lafayette to have a better life. It's interesting how people have different experiences from each other. It's amazing how people use those experiences to share with each other and they are attuned with each other and listening and becoming the best of friends.

East Cleveland is where Joey & his family moved from because it was a really rough neighborhood.

Lafayette, LA where Joey and his family moved to.

It's all about being neighborly especially when you move into the neighborhood.
