Some brought children in strollers; others brought dogs. Small children rode trikes and bikes. Adults sat in various types of folding chairs. A large picnic bench stretched half way across the street.
It was time for the annual summer block party.
There are 47 houses on our extra long block which is about .3 of a mile. This year we had almost half the families in attendance. This is pretty amazing since families are trying to fit in a last getaway before school starts next week.
I met three of the new families. When I commented to one that they had selected a wonderful block to live on, she said, “I can tell just by this gathering.” It was one filled with good food and laughter.
We live on a wonderful block.
