Thanks for a Fun (and sunny) Summer Bash! After a stormy, rainy afternoon, the clouds parted – and the sun came out just in time for our Highlands get-together at the park last Saturday. Thanks to those who organized our annual event and to all our neighbors who brought their smiles and tasty dishes to share. A good time was had by all, and we were grateful the weather didn’t turn out similar to the hurricane-like storm we had a couple of years ago!  (See more Summer Bash pics below.)
