A small informal gathering can certainly uplift and encourage you, making you ready again and re-energized you for the difficulties of life.
Completely agree with you. I always enjoy such informal gatherings, it gives me joy and happiness for a while and helps me to forget my current life position.
That potato salad looks delicious, I have never tasted this drink called Coquito, must be very sweet. Love those cheesecakes though personally, I don't eat too many cakes. You are really lucky, you have such good neighbors, my neighbors are so boring and they don't interact much...
Yeah, it prepares you for the challenges... once is a while you need it!
Just follow the potato salad recipe. I don't measure the ingredients, I just eyeball, hehehe 😁
Perhaps you can find friendlier neighbors a little farther away?
