We are all so disconnected these days. Between work, long hours, screens, busy schedules, and our homes having pretty much everything we need… how do we even gather anymore?
Chris and I are still fairly new to Woodland Brook. We have two daughters, 12 and 15, and a 19-year-old son whose 19-year-old roommate also lives with him in our basement apartment. We own a business, we work a lot, life stays busy… and yet we keep feeling like we just haven’t gotten to know enough of our neighbors.
So I had an idea.
Would anyone be interested in an old-fashioned FALL NEIGHBORHOOD POTLUCK? 🍂
Nothing fancy. Nothing overly organized.
Maybe we pick a cul-de-sac. Everyone brings their folding tables and chairs, we push the tables together and make one ridiculously long neighborhood table.
Bring your favorite dish. Bring a cooler with whatever you want to drink. Bring the kids. Come as you are.
And we just eat, talk, laugh, meet the people who live around us, and actually be neighbors for an evening.
No agenda. No big production. Just good food and people getting to know each other.
Is this an idea? Would anybody actually be up for it?
