1st annual neighborhood block party
nice for all of us to mix together
rather than just pass on the street
get to know each other a bit better
police, fire, and ice cream people
the holy trinity of community support
came by for a visit
raised money for toys for our neighborhood park
lots of people, lots of food, lots of fun.

Growing up in a city neighborhood my memories of block parties are filled with smiles. Everyone participated. Everyone had fun. Everyone filled their memory banks with wonderful moments that guaranteed smiles 40 plus years later.
LOVE that quote!

I have to admit, I miss the feel of the neighborhood I grew up in. It was the last time I had that complete “knowing” of my place.
