HOA, as in Home Owners Association.  I decided I needed to find a new avenue to meet some other people in our community, and what better way to become involved in my HOA social committee.  Some of you may be rolling your eyes, some of you may be laughing, and others of you might think, “you mean all this time, summer, you HAVEN’T been in the HOA?”  its like PTA, but for housing communities.

Don’t worry, I won’t run to be a member on the board or drive around enforcing the “law” of the land at Parkside Community.  But I will meet other guys/gals, and see where the friendship takes us.  Maybe even someone is looking to be part of a church (and I can help with that, too!).

I met Michelle a few months ago at my garage sale.  She’s across the street, two young kiddos, and works at the American Red Cross.  She asked if I’d be interested in helping with a July 4th picnic for our community–SURE is my answer.  I sometimes don’t get why others don’t get super excited about meeting new people and inviting them to a place to connect to others–shrug.  Then I remember, maybe my desire to be a social butterfly is abnormal. :)  Who knows.

Either way, me, Michell, and “LuLu” put on a neighborhood picnic on July 4th.  And it was fun.  Sad that Tatum had to nap half way through it, and missed jumping in the inflatables AND face painting, but either way, I think our neighborhood was excited that we did something.

And now we are famous. I mean come on—when you make your HOA WEBSITE….you’ve hit a major mark in life. HAHA.  Check it out.  www.parksideatslaughter.org 

Click on the link that says July 4th Picnic to the right.  Scroll down a little, 7th pic down on the right,  you’ll see me laughing hysterically at something—again, maybe this is abnormal. I think most people are funny and I laugh at anything.
