Block party🎉

July 12, 2023 by jillyandjerry

Hope you all had as they say, a safe and sane 4th🇺🇸

with all the ‘new kids on the block’, haha, the parents got together and planned a block party which was a smashing success. Kelsey, middle, was co-organizer with Dani, our next door neighbor. Ashley, on the left, came dressed for the occasion

Paula’s son, Mario, was in charge of the b-b-q, plus delicious tri tip was on the table from Ashley’s husband, Cliff.

Dani, Mario’s wife, and Kelsey, were the main organizers. Dani’s corgi, Wesley, joined the party, and many others walked by.

The water slide was a big hit, so was water balloons, spin art, sidewalk chalk, and all around children playing

There was a nice breeze, so ping pong was occasionally played by the adults

There was so much food to enjoy, including all the picnic favorites, I was too busy eating all that delicious food to take pictures.

we put a table in our driveway where the older generation sat. It was so much fun, again I didn’t take pictures except this one, the Mudges brought plums and joined our table. Midas wants out every day about the time they walk by; and still waits for their snacks.

This is my inside the house view of him waiting for those snacks on the porch.

Oh, I did take this one too. Jerry found this in the chip bag

Hope they do it again next year. But of course there are lots of other holidays to celebrate.

Right?

Hope you stay tuned for a trip to the main library in Los Angeles and the Broad museum.
It’s interesting, I promise

“You captured the feeling of neighborly good will and fun and felt like we were there. Loved the chip. Hearts always find their way to you. “A beautiful day in the neighborhood.”

What a neighborhood you have! Everybody knows everyone on the block. We miss that about Long Beach, it’s also cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. We might move back when Emily and Amy finish school.
