Dancing In the Streets

Dancing in the Streets Let's hang those pretty Chinese lanterns! In our neighborhood streets. Put out some delicious spreads and get us dancing in the streets. Turn off the telly, the internet, leave your cell phones at home. Look in your neighbors' eyes, chat, connect with absolutely no interruptions. No, no you don't need pictures! Just laugh, love and be with one another. Smell the summer air, marvel at the skies above. Be with human beings, not living in an electronic world, But truly dancing in the streets.

Line, I have to ask myself the same question. So much distraction pouring in! Highly addictive. Yes, you are defiantly invited)) Panagiota
