Welcome Party

Our sweet and wonderful new neighbors, instigated by the Gibbses, threw us a little welcome barbecue party the Wednesday after we moved in. We live in a neighborhood of duplex-style houses. Every two duplexes there is a little courtyard in the middle. We live in the back part of one house and the Gibbs live in the back part of the other house. Our courtyard has a nice picnic-style table and a barbecue. So this is where we gathered with our neighbors from our duplex and the few that surround us. We had a wonderful time getting to know our new neighbors and, for the first time since I lived in the mountains, enjoyed a real welcome and feeling of "home."
