Brilliant!

Yesterday (Saturday), with fabulous weather cooperating, the Derchers and Fullmers hosted a "Block Party" from 4 to 7 PM.  Bring a dish/dessert and celebrate what hopefully will be a long spring/summer/fall.  Entertainment provided by Bruce's band, Match 5, with a healthy dose of kids/grandkids to play in Wayland Park.  Fun.

As you know, without traditional blocks, and not having sidewalks to connect homes WL can be a challenge connecting with neighbors.  Maybe the concept of "neighborhood parties" needs to be dusted off and revived? (the Venita neighborhood has had a long standing tradition, I am sure there are others).  The parks in WL offer the perfect place for a neighborhood party, don't you think?  Spontaneous, free form, why not give it a try?

Kudos to Bruce, Margie, Pam, Jim and all those who pitched in.
