CHICKEN COOP WARMING PARTY

A Farewell Party for Kate and Bart at their Home on July 25, 2009

 

FAREWELL TO A NICE LITTLE HOME

 

Kate and Bart are moving away from our town soon to increase their  higher education levels.  They'll be leaving their little home with the sunflowers, chickens, vegetable gardens and strange looking tree next door.  We are all going to miss the great energy they brought with them and unselfishly poured into our community.

 

CHICKEN WHISPERER

 

Camille knew that Kate had a way with horses and dogs but didn't know about the chickens.  Mary Beth, Haruka and Jason watch in awe as Kate handles one of their three young hens, one named after Bart's mother.  The bamboo chicken tractor they built is behind Mary Beth.  Click on the photo of Kate and her pet for to view a larger file.

 

EAT, DRINK, SPECTATE

 

Bart and Kate made sure there was plenty of good food, with a potluck and Kate's home made pizza, a keg of beer and a lawn game to entertain.

 

YOU DON'T SAY

Every party benefits from a little running commentary and there were plenty of us well equipped to provide it at this gathering.  Jason, Bob, Andy and Matt enjoying each other's company and the ambience of the evening.

 

GOOD FRIENDS

DIZZY BAT GAME - CHUG, SPIN & BAT

   

Upon our arrival, Bart explained the rules of Dizzy Bat, our featured post dinner game.  Jack shows how its done.

Here are the rules as we played it:

1. Appoint a person with a timer to time each player.  Time begins when you start to drink and ends when you hit the can.

2. Pour some beer into a plastic bat that has had the end cut off.  12 ounces for the men, 6 ounces for the ladies.

3. Drink the beer from the bat as quickly as possible while onlookers count out loud "one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi" and so on

4. Place the bat on the ground and spin around it with your head on the handle as many times as it took in seconds to drink your beer

5. Stand up (try not to fall down) and use the bat to hit a beer can the pitcher throws at you.
