1) Good album. Glad you guys had so much fun with your neighbors. I heard the tale about the trash cans and your witchy neighbor. Always one bad apple in the bunch. Hopefully those bad apples will move away and you will have a better neighbor to have even more fun with as a group.

2) Oh, indeed! The timeline was a littlel like this.
While I cooked I told Tember to invite Serena, Ross and the kids.
She admitted that she was uncomfortable around us without Ross. She'd talk to him.
Ross got home.
A little time passes and the cops arrive. He informs us that a neighbor complained about the trashcans in the road. We said, "but all the neighbors are here." He said we needed to move the cans and the kids out of the street because people drive way too fast on our road and the kids might get hit. I said that if he knows how fast they drive why can't he park his butt right here and ticket them for it because last time I checked speeding was illegal.
In just a few mins here comes her mother down the street and she parked in front of our house, which she NEVER DOES. She and Serena came out of the house with the kids on their way to the park. I figured I was begin set up. In our HOA they give the homeowner the ticket, not the vehicle owner. I asked, very politely, for Gloria (the mom) to move her car b/c I didn't want a ticket. She said, "and where exactly do you expect me to park it? You have the whole street blocked?" I told her there there only 2 little orange cones and that she could park in front of her daughters house. She again repeated the same statement; my response---I walked away. She moved her car, but refused to park infront of Serena's house, she parked in front of her neighbor's house.

We ate, laughed at their expense, and had a good time. We adults sat up and talked until very late. It really was a wonderful day, despite Serena's obvious and juvinile attempts to ruin it!
