that is true. But, often the ways in which groups work to get what they want differ. And, often that is the trouble I face with groups. Sometimes it feels like too much work to get to the goal. But, I guess that is the essential struggle - to get people to see that process is as important as the result. And, not to lose faith. Cheers.

Greemfields-- I've observed it pays to get involved. If you
are an activist, you can often get a job in the whatever activist group.

its true but all we can do is try and not expect too much from each other. Yes?

I actually was very neighbourly in the US. And I enjoyed it. Since we came back to India we seemed to be so busy and never made time to be in touch with our neighbours. But, we did have a lot to do, a young child and I had a very full time job. I had little free time which I realxed int eh company of friends, and not neighbours!

Thanks proc
yes, it does take work. As for the samosas, they really are delightful and so famous in many parts of the world. Thanks to globalisation and food moving form one part of the world to another!

Such a nice time. I miss that sort of thing. We chose to live in an urban environment about 15 years ago and we have not neighbors. But America is getting less and less neighborly. It is a good thing to have community. Be blessed.

This is such a good idea.When we came to new zealand we didnt know anyone.
Slowly we built a new family.Today we met at a friends house about 8 different families with an assortment of kids.What a fabulous day eating and drinking.I love samoosas by the way.vege ones and mince ones.In South Africa where we lived the we only had Indian food.A friend made the most delicious samoosas using potatoe and green chillis.

I enjoy 'potlucks' as they are called. It takes the pressure off one family having to make all the arrangements. And I love the variety and surprise of foods that come together. Happy Easter to you too.

That's great news...I am happy for you and your colony. It's always nice to know your neighbors..Here at home we have something like that..people grill on the barbecue and everybody brings something. Sort of like a large block of people on a picnic. The results are the same as your..and yes it does feel good to know most of the folks..
I hope you have a very happy Easter..
