Breton Village Neighborhood Association

i’m currently sitting on my front lawn with my housemates, enjoying the sunshine and feeding off the wireless internet connection from my house.  ian’s lying on the lawn next to me, and josh is juggling a soccer ball (or rather, football).  ah, the pleasures of working at home on a sunday afternoon.

yesterday afternoon, we pretty much met all our neighbors at once.  we’d been wondering how we could our neighbors, and this was the perfect opportunity.  the neighborhood association was having a potluck at the nearby elementary school, so we headed over there with our dish of thai friend shrimp (it was good stuff, one of the first dishes to be finished off), armed with smiles and conversation.  when we got there, i was surprised at how many people showed up.  i was told that our neighborhood has over 550 households, and more than 80 are in the neighborhood association.  i saw more than a few professors there, including the director of my honors program and my english 101 professor, and i also met a calvin community relations representative and some students.  it was fun getting to know the other calvin people in the neighborhood, but i was really more interested in meeting non-calvin people.  i see enough calvin people during the weekdays with classes and work, and i just need to meet some families in the area.
