NNO

We participated in "National Night Out " with our neighborhood yesterday.   Our small section was having a get-together and we participated, though we were skeptical if anyone would show up.  We walked down to the little park near our house with our fold up chairs, a small cooler with waters and a box of cookies (thank you Sam's!). We didn't see anyone at the park but walked up to it and a woman and her daughter were there -- putting up signs to show it moved to a nearby cul-de-sac. Good decision, since the park was wet and had lots of mosquitoes.

Once we got to the right location, we met lots of neighbors!!  We enjoyed visiting with everyone and the cookies were gobbled up.   We'd have stayed longer but it was so humid and mosquitoes started eating me up after the sun went down.  Our cold front came through overnight, too bad it didn't come one day earlier -- the NNO would've been even better!

This weekend was also decision time about the tree I'd won during my streak of winning things. We really tried to find a place for a tree in our yard, but just couldn't find a spot.  I spoke to the HOA on Saturday and found a great solution - we donated it to the neighborhood to replace a tree lost in the drought.  I'll never know which tree is 'our' tree, but I'm so glad it can be put to good use, i felt like such a scrooge saying no to a tree!

We went to see the movie "Gravity" this weekend, I was not really interested in seeing it, but am glad that K insisted -- WOW, I have no idea how they filmed it, I really thought we were watching people in space!   We saw it in 3D, not sure it was necessary but was a fun way to see it!

It was a weekend of meeting people, on Friday I met my dear friend Delena's baby girl for the first time, and silly me I forgot to take any photos.  She is a cutie!
