Today was the First Annual Block Party. Which implies there will be one next year. Yeah! Invite brother from Elkton to pick and grin. Lets have T-shirts! Lets have silly contests. Lets do Iron Chef Coquille. Lets invite all of our friends. The weather was perfect. The pickled green tomatoes went over well. People really liked the crab potato salad.
Didn't have to drag much home. About 20 to 25 people showed up. The local constabulary dropped off some traffic cones and yellow barrier tape.
We met lots of neighbors and chatted, it was nice.
Look back up at the first picture, the "Grapes of Wrath" house is the red one on the right, chatted with the owner. Asked him what led him to purchase that property. He said had been looking for a fixer upper and was attracted by the lot thinking of demolishing the house and putting in a modular home. The more he looked at it, the more he saw worth saving. They have shingles going up on the roof and it is vastly improved.
Oh and we met Miss Chicken. She is very social, loves hot dog buns and vodka tonic. She even took a little nap by my chair but left when the kids began playing on the water slide and playing hop scotch in the street.

How fun...we're been to a few block parties, they are always fun.
I think every neighborhood should have a walk about chicken.
