It's like we live in Brooklyn

On Saturday night we ate dinner on our front steps. We watched the sun set. We watched the neighbors drive past and a friend stopped by to see what we were having. We told him spaghetti and then discussed parmesan cheese versus no parmesan cheese. (Parmesan cheese won with an overwhelming majority.) After their bowls were empty the pirates went back to playing and stayed there until bedtime. We live our summer lives very much outside. It's easy clean-up and free entertainment for all of our non-Brooklyn neighbors.
