Other typical social occasions include periodic movies in the library, weekly card games, evenings of singing, and “neighborhood news” gatherings for catching up on each other, and casual co–chats. Once, our local legislator visited for an evening with his band, and played great music for listening and dancing. The music session was followed by a lively discussion of what’s been going on in the legislature. We’ve also hosted other musicians from around the world. July 4th is our traditional time to watch fireworks from the roof, as we are on a high point for miles around. We can see 20–30 displays.
