National Night Out 2011

This is my third year as co-hostess for National Night Out for our block.  Each year our little block party gets bigger and bigger.  Not in terms of people, because every year the same people come (which happens to be everyone on the street), but in terms of food.  Technically, National Night Out is all about heighten crime prevention awareness (like our local Neighborhood Watch Program) and to strengthen police-community partnerships.  We, however, use this as a chance to eat and enjoy!  And Oh, there was so much to eat this year!  I won't go into all the details, but the women did a wonderful job on the grad foods and the men did great on the grill (well, actually it was a Big Green Egg).

I've often said on here how much we love our street, our neighbors are all wonderful!  God had a place for us when He brought us to Houston, and I'm so thankful for it!
