I love Staunton. Part 2

       Tonight my neighbor Sara and I went to a Potluck Dinner sponsored and organized by the Newtown Neighborhood Association.   This sort of thing is exactly why I moved here, and I don't mean the food, although that was very enjoyable.  VERY enjoyable, especially the dessert table.  But I digress...  I was able to meet some of the people who live in the houses I walk by everyday with Bhindi and learn a little more about them.  I talked with a woman about gardening whose garden I've admired weekly since I moved here.  We met a couple who just moved here to Staunton from Ohio a month ago ,who were brave enough to turn up when they didn't know anyone.  Now they do!  Community is one step at a time,  it doesn't happen all at once.  It's cumulative but it's definitely worth the effort.  And I would say that , even if there hadn't been three different kind of brownies.
