2nd Annual Osmond Street Summer Block Party

Christmas Lights

I need Christmas lights to string across the street. Who has some? Can you borrow some from a friend/family member?

Eight more days

Two Saturdays from now will be the 18th. Are we ready? Who's brining what...food, drinks, games? Mike 3436 may be bringing his beanbag game again...thanks Mike!

Summer Drinks

How about some unique cool summer drinks. Recently, Shannon (3426) hosted a porch party and served a gin and Earl Grey tea drink and it was fabulous. Anybody have similar ideas?

Food!

We should start a conversation about who's bringing what... any ideas?

Congrats to Mike and Racheal

Mike and Racheal (3433) are now proud first time parents. Mighty Wyatt Reynolds is about a week old now and is doing fine. Congrats and just in time for the block party!
