“Let’s invite the neighbours to a get-to-know-you party!” I announced to my wife, Sarah, and our 11-year-old twins, Olivia and Holly, as we pulled into the driveway of our new house.
The idea had come to me the day we moved in a month earlier. Every time we passed each basketball field and garden, my excitement grew. Families! I could picture us all hanging out together.
Now, here I was at the end of that driveway, sitting in my camp chair, having serious second thoughts. What if we wait a couple more months to hold a get-together? What if we get to know a few folks first? Anyway, I made the final decision.
Sarah rearranged bags of chips and popcorn in a basket she’d set out. “I hope we have enough,” she said. Olivia and Holly threw the beanbags to each other to pass the time. A week earlier, Sarah had designed the invitations, “Hello! We’re new to the neighbourhood, the Miller family. We’d love to meet you. Monday, July 5, anytime between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. It would be great fun!”
Sarah and the girls had gone house to house, putting an invitation in their mailboxes on Whitney Drive, namely the Parkers, a single mother Sally with two kids and Mr Davis. Coming home, the kids excitedly talked about the Willsons, an elderly couple they met in the neighbourhood, who seemed to be quite interested when they told them about the party.
However, we hadn’t heard a word since. I checked my watch. 6:10. Maybe I’d misjudged. Sarah also had her doubts obviously. “Would we look silly sitting all alone in our front yard?” she said. “What if no one shows up?” I put my arm around her and drew her close. “We have to have faith,” I said. Then I took two bottles from the cooler I’d stored with juice boxes and cold drinks. Sarah and I clinked(碰杯)them together. “To our new neighbourhood,” I said.
Paragraph 1:
Another ten minutes dragged by and then my eyes widened. In the distance, across the road, a couple walked in our direction. The woman was holding a bunch of flowers. “Someone’s coming!” Holly and Olivia called out, jumping up and down. With a racing heart, I watched as they headed our way. I sprang out of my seat, ran to them and reached out my hand. “Hi! I’m Tim. Thank you for coming!” “I’m Kyle Willson,” the husband said, shaking my hand firmly. “And I’m Emily,” his wife said. Smiling gently, Sarah took the bunch of flowers from her, hugged her and then led them to the yard. I was less anxious at that time.
Paragraph 2:
Chatting with the old couple in the yard, we found more neighbours coming. Sally with the lovely kids, the Parkers, and Mr Davis all made it here. We introduced each other and talked over refreshing cold drinks, bursting into laughter from time to time. “This is such a great idea and thank you for offering us the opportunity to bond with everybody on Whitney Drive,” Sally said. Olivia and Holly ran around with the kids, laughing out loud. From that day on, we often spend time together and help each other. I’ve learned that it’s not a place that builds a community but the people.
