Last night our neighborhood gathered at one house to celebrate "National Night Out", where you spend time outdoors getting to know your neighbors. The fire truck and ambulance were there for the kids to climb on and look at. My highlight of the night was when they hooked the hoses up to the fire hydrant and shot a HUGE arc of water in the air, for about 20 minutes, I ran in the water and got soaked, just like the kids, water plastering my hair to my face, feet feeling the ground, shining eyes in every face that watched and participated. It is a moment that I take into my day today. Carolyn,
