Dear Gus & Magnus,
Gus's Pokemon-themed birthday party at Allsopp went well this morning, though I didn't get any decent pictures, unfortunately. (I assume someone did.) Nene made him a Charizard Pokemon cake, Yiayia was on hand to help us set up, and Mom put together some serious Pokemon party favor bags for everyone. There were lots of kids playing on the playground and in the creek.
Later, Yiayia came back and hung out with you two so Mom and I could attend the progressive dinner our street hosted -- at Mallory & Brian's, then Christy & Stuart's, then the Ryalls'. It was fun to hang out with our neighbors and see the inside of three houses we'd only previously seen from the outside. Conversational highlights (for me) included: Talking Marriott Bonvoy points with Mr. Steve, talking Enneagram with a few folks who want me to host some kind of conversation on our deck soon, and having my eyes opened to the idea that lots of houses on the street have servants' quarters, which is probably what our basement was at one point, I now realize.
Dad.
Little Rock, Arkansas. 6.24.2023 - 8.55pm.
SIDENOTE: My god, your mother is beautiful.
Progressive Holidays...
Neighborhood folks are so great to eat and drink and be merry together!

Help!
So every year a group of neighbors and I do a progressive dinner. This year rather than doing a separate course at each house, you know, progressively, we are just doing an appetizer theme.
My house is first this year, so I’m thinking about just doing a crostini platter, but that’s pretty unimaginative. I want something delicious and simple and that doesn’t take a million hours to cook/prepare.
Help meeeeee
I have prostelytized over at THE HOLY TACO CHURCH. Please to go say your amens. xoxo
More Cooking with Friends... Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of all the progressions, but we joined in on a great progressive dinner on July 4th. Appetizers: Made by our incredibly creative friend, she stuck to an All-American theme and made California rolls, Idaho potatoes, Texas caviar, and Texas Pete buffalo chicken dip. Main Course: DELICIOUS grilled burgers with blue cheese, caramelized onions, and arugula. We made an insane amount of vegetable salsa (pictured above) to go with the burgers, as well as more buffalo chicken dip. Dessert: Classic flag cake, expertly made! -b
Each year for the past 19 years the Ridgefield Rotary Club has been running a Club Fellowship/Fundraiser knowns as the Progressive Dinner to benefit The Rotary Foundation. This year the event raised $3,500 which was presented in the form of a BIG CHECK for The Rotary Foundation.
The Progressive Dinner starts at one house, this year it was President Joe’s, for fellowship, cocktails and appetizers then the group splits up and heads off to various host houses for unique dinners, Jennifer and I went to Cliff & Karen Heidinger’s house for a fabulous dinner and wine tasting, then the group comes back together again for desserts, coffee and after dinner drinks at Andy & Nina Bodner’s home.

The Progressive Dinner was started as a way for the Ridgefield Rotary Club to become more involved with the Rotary Foundation and it has served to do just that as it has raised well over $50,000 since its’ inception and created a hightened level of awareness about the good that the Foundation does around the world.
Ridgefield Rotarian Simon Cooper is a Foundation Area Rep that has been working with the district and the 5 Rotary Clubs in his area on the Foundation for a number of years. Cliff Heidinger has run the Progressive Dinner for the past 19 years, was recognized at the Foundation Dinner in November and remains one of the top Foundation Champions. The Ridgefield Rotary Club was awarded two district managed grants this year from the Foundation to do good in the world and all of the Ridgefield Rotarians generously support The Rotary Foundation.
