Last night, there was a bit of excitement in our neighborhood. We were already in bed when we heard some loud bangs. Although we don’t live in a dangerous neighborhood, it’s one that knows how to celebrate a cool high school graduate.    Nancy walked over much  earlier to congratulate Ava. Unfortunately, I was not permitted to accompany Nancy this time. In fact, Nancy mentioned that their adorable dogs were nowhere to be found either. I suppose they were worried that their cute dogs would overshadow the celebration of Ava? No way, she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.

It was refreshing to hear the laughter and chatter of the neighbor’s party, even though I wasn’t invited.
