Cougar Lane Cookout!

Have I told you that I love my neighbors...well most of them. :) Last year, we started an annual cookout on our street. We had the streets blocked off so all the kids could play in the streets, ride bikes, etc. Each family brought whatever kind of meat they wanted and one side dish. Of course, we had enough food to feed the entire South East section of Decatur, but man it was good! Getting together like this reminds me a little bit of Mayberry...we just all spent the day together until about 9:00 that night. It is good to have neighbors that are friendly and all get along because that is so rare these days. You always hear horror stories about people suing their neighbor for this or that, and that is not how it is on the ol' Cougar Lane. Sure, Scott's loud truck gets on our nerves (I only put that on here because he reads my blog), but we love him anyway!! I recommend getting together with your neighbors if not for a full blown cookout, but some other event. Football season is right around the corner and you never know...you could be missing out on new best friends!!
