Neighbourhood BBQ

We were privileged to host the 3rd annual Neighbourhood BBQ this past weekend.
I think we can say it was an unqualified success. 65 people came (19 of them were children!) representing 22 families.

We've lived in this neighbourhood for 37 years now and although we've become good friends with our immediate neighbours, we've not gotten to know those further afield.

Thank you, Marg and Marilyn, for initiating the idea of gathering all the neighbours for a summer BBQ and to Linda and Jim who have hosted a party for us all at Christmas. It's because of these folks that we have become friends with the wider neighbourhood and why we had such a turnout this year.

As you can see the kids had a ball and the adults found lots to talk about.

The weather was mostly good with a
bit of rain at dusk which didn't seem to dampen anyone's spirits. We just moved the party under a canopy and enjoyed dessert by candlelight.

Thank you to everyone who came.
We loved having you.
