A unique thing to do

Saturday night we participated in a neighborhood "progressive" night. No, it wasn't a political event, but a social one. About 6 houses participated, so around 12 people were lurking the streets, going from one house to the other, progressively getting fuller and fuller by good food and tipsier and tipsier by plenty of wine and beer. We started at Aaron and Tiffany's house-they are new on our block and have the most adorable 2 year old named Ava. They served wine and appetizers and we wandered around their house, looking at everything. We then went to Karen and TJ's for drinks and pizza-we enjoyed their garden. We went across to Diane's house, which all around is lovely, and ate a yummy green bean and potato salad. Our house was next, where we got to show off the kitchen and our smoked salmon from Alaska. Ron and Pat were after, and so we started on dessert over there while loving their garden. Finally, we finished at Tonda's house with more dessert, a final glass of wine, and enjoyed all her recent remodeling. At first I was nervous about the get together...I was the one who suggested doing it, so I was afraid it would end up a dud of a night. But it didn't! It was so much fun. Everyone who participated were awesome, there was lots to see, and the next morning when we took our Sunday stroll we saw many neigbors who commented on what a great night they had. That was the highlight of the weekend...knowing that we have such great neighbors makes life all that more enjoyable!
