Ruston Potluck A Huge Success

I don't know what was more enjoyable at the town potluck this afternoon ~ the squeals of joy from the kids, the feeling of being HOME that comes from being surrounded by neighbors that truly enjoy each other's company, the fabulous spread we put on for each other or the fact that the bathrooms were open, freshly painted and working.

There had to over a hundred folks who came down to Rust Park to enjoy great food, even greater company, games and kites for the kids, practice on a real fire hose and much more. I was having such a great time I didn't take many pictures, but there will be more memories shared on Ruston Families soon.

Please give Kathryn a big thank you
for pulling this off. These kind of events are what we need to show that living in "Ruston" is worth it! Keep doing the next right thing. Tee town can't hold a candle to us.

The number of people in your photos can't be more than 25 - where are the other 75 you mentioned?

It was a three hour event with many folks wandering through during the afternoon. I can name 40 or so who were not in the photos here and there were at least that many with us that I did not recognize. 100 was a rough guess on my part. I hope you'll attend the next event and take your own count.

No need to be so defensive. The person just asked a simple question.

You can participate, or pontificate. Life is funny that way.

Or maybe it's all pointless..

BYW, last anonymous is pontificating.

Dear pontificator.Life is not pointless if you have a purpose.
Depending on your purpose of course
determines your worth.Running around being worthless is no way to live.Relax a little.Get to know your neighbors and participate.

Oh, dear, so many anonymous pontificators..so many (pointless) points made..

Perhaps we should consider the message of T.S. Eliot, who poses the question of purpose in one's life (Read his poem, The Wasteland). He describes one of his subjects' purposeless life by saying that he measured his life in coffee spoons? Do you measure your life in coffee spoons? You alone know the answer, be it 25 or 100.
