BLOCK PARTY!

We had a nice welcome to our new neighborhood with our 1st of the apparently annual block party. I forgot to take any pictures, but after a few hours of watching kids frolic in the blocked-off-street, we had a feast! We'd been informally instructed to "bring a dish and your own stuff to grill". I brought only fruit, and our sausages, and began salivating when I saw what the neighbors contributed. Tomato-mozzarella-basil stacks, a delicious "taco salad", 2 kinds of homemade cabbage slaw, pasta salad with feta, and of course summer usuals like watermelon, cherries, and all kinds of things on the grills. We piled our plates full of the salads and each had a sausage alongside. It was a sweltering, humid day with thunderclouds threatening overhead, and the kids had a wonderful time. We have some nice new neighbors, too!
