I didn't see the signs posted on telephone poles around our neighborhood until today. And that was only after we drove by the yard that is hosting, festooned with its multitude of American flags and sporting badminton net, table, barbecue, and coolers.

The woman sitting on the porch as we drove by waved at us. I waved back.

I don't know if we will make it over there, but I like knowing that it's happening. It makes me a little hopeful for my neighborhood, my city, and my country.
