Getting established in a new place is a challenge, and the three couples in "Common Ground" have varied opinions on it as they pack or prepare food for a picnic to meet future neighbors. The initial scenes involve their separate conversations, including views on potential neighbors. The final scene includes some of their children, who are interested, and amused, at their parents' choices. The surprise ending will bring a smile. The Kindle version of "Common Ground is designed to be read. The paper copies are written in script format.
