Photos: 1st annual Building #1 summer potluck

Building #1 rep Jim Pence put on his Master of Ceremonies and Programming Extraordinaire hat yesterday and with his wife Liz, hosted the 1st annual Building #1 summer potluck in their backyard. 

I weaseled an invitation for me and Robbie by promising to take photos for this VPTA blog. Pence’s neighbor Jowane Howard also snuck in, claiming seniority of some kind since she’s lived in the VPTA longer than anybody.

Other building #1 residents who bellied up to the potluck bar: Jerry and Ann Krause, Dennis and Sandy McClintock, and Scott McMillan.

The stormwater pond in Hidden Valley Park does its job

Normally, the stormwater pond in Hidden Valley Park looks like the photo on the left. Last night, after 6 inches of rain, it was full and slightly overflowing in spots, much higher than the previous high mark since we’ve lived here.

Here are a few more photos:
