A Warning and an Invitation.

Warning, the Olathe city Festivus Holiday light inspectors are out in force. For those of you who haven’t received a notice yet, besides Christensen… Take your holiday lights down immediately!!!

This can only mean one thing….. It’s time to start thinking about the Alden St. summer kickoff cookout.

Please take a minute and vote for the date that works best for you. Also, since we don’t have all the families on the email list, be sure to talk to your neighbors.

It's been a great Summer

The BBQ's, Big Birthday Bashes and House painting of South Alden Street's summer are coming to a close. It's been a great one! Look for more summer updates and a site redesign to come soon. Email any pictures you want posted to cnchri@yahoo.com and I'll get 'em posted.

Vicki update--Friday Night Live!

Friends--It looks like things are starting to progress with Vicki tonight.

Background for those who haven't heard...She's been in the hospital since last friday night when her water broke and she had a lot of contractions... Since she was at 33 weeks, we transferred to St. Luke's on the Plaza, where they have a level III NICU. She has been on bed rest this week, and so far everything looks good with the baby...

She's starting to progress and is in early (?) stages of labor. Thanks for all your help, thought and prayers. We're very grateful, and will share the news as soon as we have a new baby...

Thanks,

Cory (and Vicki)

Some of the South Alden St. crew took a road trip to St. Louis for Christine's wedding in July. Here's photographic evidence that South Alden St. is not just a location, it's a state of mind!

Weekend BBQ / Hash Brown Casserole

You've been asking for it and we're here to deliver. When seven helpings at the BBQ just isn't enough--Make your own!It's Amy's famous

Hash Brown Casserole:

1 stick of butter melted
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pt. of sour cream
12 oz of shredded cheese, I use cheddar
½ tsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper
½ cup of chopped yellow onion
2 lb bag of shredded hash browns

Mix all of the ingredients together and then add in potato’s to cover well with mixture, pour into 13 X 9 pan and then melt about a tablespoon more of butter in a separate bowl and mix in about a cup or so of crushed cornflakes, drizzle these over the top and then bake uncovered in a 350 degree over for about an hour.

Memorial Day 2008

Already this Memorial day weekend has produced at least 2 gatherings at South Alden St. HQ (Brad & Trish's driveway). Word on the street is that next weekend the action moves down to Gene's house. We will more than likely have a huge gathering of teenagers.

Applications are being accepted for valet parking positions. Brad and Steve have already signed up for the first shift. Cory will handle the cash box.<--Sarcasm intended....
