Great one! I could make this for 1 of our “Deck Days” here in the neighborhood. We basically spend the day with yummy snacks, treats & drinks on my neighbor’s back porch & just talk & hang out for the day. I love it.

Ooh that’s neat!!! When I was younger, there were block parties. The entire block was blocked off by a marker and a cop car. We grilled, baked, ate and partied!! Of course there were like fifty different types of music playing :sweat_smile: it was fun!!!

We have paths in our backyards that go to neighbor’s houses or we use golf carts to get to each other’s shindigs. Lol it’s a good time in the spring/summer/fall here. In the winter everyone is more coordinated with where we go & how we get there. Minimize being cold I guess.

Saturday I was having a fire & wound up with 3 sets of neighbors hanging out in the backyard & we ate dinner at the fire. We had golf carts parked on the side of our house. It works out nice when someone is injured or having a hard time getting around. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
