So… I had a thought for the 4th of July.
And by “thought,” I mean my brain casually suggested I make deep-fried deviled eggs, smoked hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, and Capri Suns like I own a food truck, a catering company, and an extra set of hands.
I already know somebody is about to say,
“Janelle… that is just too darn much.”
And honestly?
They might be right.
But I’m thinking about making it a little family affair and putting together some community food for the neighborhood kids, our neighbors, and some of the elderly residents at the local supportive housing complex.
Nothing big. Nothing fancy. Just a little food, a little love, and a little “we see you” on the 4th.
Because sometimes community looks like a meeting.
Sometimes it looks like advocacy.
Sometimes it looks like showing up with a plate, a Capri Sun, and a hotdog wrapped in foil.
So if you see us outside looking like we underestimated the assignment… no, you didn’t.
We’re just trying to love on the neighborhood a little bit.
