Every summer our street has a block party.
Well, every summer...except last summer (cause I had a baby and the earth stopped rotating for about a year afterwords, in case you didn't hear). So yeah, every summer we have this block party...starting the year before last. :)
And let me tell you- it is THE event of the summer that every one looks forward to! This summer we had a great band perform and we were lucky enough to know the female singer personally! She also moonlights as a babysitter. It is so cool when you are totally in with all the celebrities.

I love my street because it is perfectly acceptable to be in your pajamas at noon. Or at least they make me feel like it is.
I love my street because everyone walks down it, and they all say hi, and we like each other.
I like my street because we don't all look like each other, or go to the same church, or come from the same place.
I like my street because it's OK if you forget to mow your lawn on Saturday, and the next.
I like my street because there are always kids hanging out on it.
I like my street because the kids can walk to school. I can walk to get the paper at the local market, a great breakfast at the local diner, homemade pizza from the local grill, a shaved ice from the little shack, some penny candies, balloons and toys at the local gift shop that also has a pharmacy if I need my prescriptions. And in November I will be able to have a great dinner at an Italian restaurant that is under construction.
It's a good place to live.

Ashley- Hey it's Mandy, your old neighbor in Boston who bummed rides off of you! I just spent 30 minutes checking out your blog and laughing a lot! Thanks for being so REAL. I also noticed that I know the girl, Courtney, in the last picture of this post on the right side. She is my best friend from high school's younger sister! Small world. She is way cool - young, hip, nothing that I am! Take care!
