Day Twenty: Won't You Be My Neighbor

Back in the day I found this great vintage card table.  It doubles as a sort of suitcase with metal legs that can unscrew and be placed inside, with room enough for games and such.  I've been using it as a table for years but it's been a long spell since games were played.  Tonight, I met up with one of my neighbors - bringing the card table and a couple chairs to the street, first thing he said was, "oh, if this card table could talk."   And yes, that old wood and rusty metal bits definitely have stories!

I loved hanging out with someone I usually only see in passing and really loved the sort of energy that gathered as the night went on.  Kind of like a buffet at a party, people just flocked to it.  Stories were shared and I even got to learn a new game: "7 card no peek".

Grateful for this day.  It was a little scary.  Felt like a school girl, asking, "hey, do you wanna play with me?"  But, you know, worse thing that could have been said was "no".  And I got a "yes".  Mission accomplished!
