Well, IF the party is the 3rd weekend we may not make it
We are scheduled to leave on the 20th.

Unless we can change plans - rest assured that if we don't make this one - WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER !!!!

Default Sounds like fun

We will be closing on our home 7/24 and will be there for a while after, setting up house, cameras, etc. Would love to meet some of the neighbors (I guess we are all "new". We are on Cosmos.

Where I come from (Long Island, NY) basically the street is closed to traffic, everyone on the block gets together chips in for food drink etc. and has a party! Sometimes a DJ is hired, entertainment for the kids is conjured up etc.

Recently though, (don't really like it this way but...) each homeowner has his own BBQ (or whatever) by his/her house and music and entertainment are chipped in for and located for everyone to enjoy.

Can be a lot of fun !

Oh that is great. Can you get me their names and addresses as well as yours because I am making a roster of our neighbors and will pass them out at the party. We are shooting for Saturday, 7/20.

Good job!

A block party is just a get together of neighbors out in front of someone's home for fellowship for a couple of hours. In this case, it will be in front of our home at 3815 Infinity Run. We are entertainers and will provide music, karaoke and comedy. You bring a chair and your cooler of goodies.

Are you in Hillsborough?

Welcome home! You are right, all of us are new. Ed and I have been here since April 23. Give me your names and address and I will add you to the roster. Our first party is 7/20. Although you are closing on 7/24 you surely can come on down and meet us.....Diva Kay & Musicman Ed at 3815 Infinity Run.

You will make the next block party for sure!

It's all good.

Your kind of block party does sound like fun. Our entertainment is music, karaoke and comedy.

YO Diva Kay:

As prev. mentioned we may stop by to introduce ourselves.

We will be there on the 20th however we are supposed to leave on that day as well.

If I can arrange it we may be able to stay another night.

If so, I would be more than willing to bring something but I have absolutely nothing down there. So, If this goes off on the 20th, when we stop by and if we can make it please let me know what we can bring. Never like showing up empty-handed.

Since you are entertainers I would love to have my drums with me LOL. Might be able to get them in the car but would have to leave the wife home.

Default We can't wait for the 24th!

Sorry we will miss the party on the 20th. We show up on the 23rd in the evening. We are Dave and Kathy and will be at 3822 Cosmos (so many places do not think the address exists yet). Look forward to meeting you all.

Hey Tony,

At this point, we are just planning a get together sort of party. I have encorouged everyone to just bring a chair and a cooler with their goodies in it. Then, at this start up party, we can plan our next one and what to bring.

Musicman Ed will be setting up all our equipment....he is a master at the mixing board and I'm a master at mixing him up. LOL I will ask him about the drums but I don't think we will have room in the driveway for anything else.

Drums in car vs wife out of car.....now that's a discussion I would not want to get into. (I know you are kidding though)

Anyway, stay healthy, stay smiling and welcome home.
