Yesterday was the Fourth of July, and my downstairs neighbor invited me and Jules and our guests to join him at the party he was having, which was really nice. He made so much good food! We had curried ribs, he made some kind of dish with duck, and there was pasta and hot dogs and hamburgers. I had a little bit of everything and I was stuffed. Then for desert there was homemade ice cream and cookies and cupcakes. Some of his friends are DJ's so they came and played music for us. Plus, there was a little pool outside set up from when Jean's daughter was here (she's eight) and one of Jean's friend's had a little eight-month-old baby boy who went paddling in the pool for the first time - that was adorable. It was a little awkward, just because the only people at the party were either Jules' friends or Jean's friends. Jules' friends were my age so I got along with them, so that was fine, but Jean is maybe in his forties or so, so all of his friends were a lot older.
For fireworks, we walked outside and watched from the stoop area. We actually had a fairly good view, because people were setting off fireworks from a couple houses down and then in the neighborhood. Probably wasn't safe, but it was fun to watch! I got to see fireworks!
Apparently Jean is having another party next weekend, a friend of his is moving to London so they're having a going away party for her, and he invited me and Jules and told us we could bring our friends if we wanted. I'm not sure if we're going to go but it's nice that he invited us. He's a nice guy and he cares about us a lot, so I feel safe having him live downstairs.
