5:30 Hello a great success!

 By which I mean there were 3 households waving and shouting to each other (counting Pat, who actually just stuck her head out to say hi). But it's better than talking to nobody day after day, right? Richard and I relaxed in our lawn chairs for about half an hour, waving and smiling at everybody who passed by. Some people looked a little confused, but mostly they seemed to appreciate it. 

 

In conference with the couple across the street, we decided to try it again tonight, this time with a beverage. Maybe a nice tropical drink if the warm weather continues.
