So we got this nice invitation dropped on our front porch a week ago. "Welcome to the Neighborhood" party on Saturday the 25th. We got home from Sharon's on Friday and were so anxious to attend the following day.
Saturday morning dawned and we were at our chores -- Gary installing more handles on cabinets and Shon dealing with laundry and things that have not yet found a home. We go to the local Safeway to purchase Brie, home to make puff pastry -- which is stupidly simple -- and I have a lovely appetizer to take to said party.
We get there about 30 minutes after its start and it is in full swing. Let me tell you, our neighborhood is SO friendly and inviting -- we are thrilled! Turns out that Kitt & Phil throw this party about once a year for the newbys and all the oldbys come to help make them feel welcome. That's what happened to us!
Met many of the neighbors, have a date to have lunch with our next door neighbors on Wednesday and will do something fun with the neighbors who bought the house we didn't at the end of the street -- they are pretty special as well.
So we are settling in, meeting the locals, asking questions, and meeting new friends. I think we are going to love it here!
Happy Thanksgiving, happy holidays, hold your loved ones closely!
