Yesterday we had a bunch of neighbors over for coffee and doughnuts so that we could say hello after a winter of hiding in our warm homes. Also, the row home right next to ours just sold to a young couple, Erin and Randy. It was a fun way for them to meet everyone.Our block is really great and the people who showed up to say hello are especially wonderful. It's neat that such a diverse group -- all ages, educational levels, backgrounds, etc -- can have such a fun time together.
I am extremely hopeful that enough of these events will parlay into a block party this summer. Dave, who lives across the street, has a jam band that practices every Tuesday (they sound pretty good, believe us, we hear them every week!) + the new guy, Randy, dreams of getting a huge fryer and making 20 lbs of potatoes and two large turkeys to feed the block + I just want everyone to hang out together = it could happen!
