For some months Foursquare, our neighbors next door, dealt with noise and dust as the Bookbinders Museum went from a blank space to a beautiful showcase for bookbinding equipment and ephemera. Such patience must be rewarded, so last night we hosted a gathering from their office, as a way of saying thank you.

A cake made to thank Foursquare for their patience in dealing with our construction dust.

We enjoyed having our neighbors in the house, and hope many of them will visit again.
