I (Rob) started organizing a "meet the neighbors" dinner in Nov. as a way to celebrate Tom's birthday and decided to continue it into a new tradition. It's a great way of getting people to know each other that have lived in the same neighborhood for decades! We met most of them walking the dogs, and it's so much fun.

  Tonight we celebrated Elvina's 80th birthday (a couple of weeks early to make it a surprise) and had great help from our friends/neighbors.   - I made the short video above, while Elvina was being serenaded by the Mexican restaurant waiters, wearing the Mexican birthday hat.  What a great, memorable time!
