It looks like Saturday might be a nice day for the 16th annual Neighbor Appreciation Day. The city has quite a few events planned, including these in Ballard:
Fire Stations will be hosting open houses from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Residents are invited to stop by and tour the station, meet the firefighters and learn about firefighting equipment.
At 10 a.m. Interfaith Community Church is hosting an open invitation for neighbors to visit the historic landmark church at 1763 NW 62nd St. Tea, coffee and cookies will be served. They will also be dedicating a stone marker with the date the building was built: 1890.
At 6 p.m. the Ballard Community Center is hosting the annual daddy/daughter dinner. This is the annual dinner dance for dads and their daughters. The food, decorations, and dress up theme is “South of the Border” (or any border for that matter!). Includes dinner, photo, crafts, and a DJ dance. $40 for the first daughter $10 for each additional daughter. Contact 206-684-4093 for more information.
You can also let your neighbors know you appreciate them by downloading these e-cards to share via email or Facebook.
Unless you have a monkey tree on your lot…….
Time again to get in touch with our inner feelings. Our neighbor is a POS and wishes us terrible things. I'd “appreciate” it if they'd move. There, I feel better!
A couple neighbors seem to need a hug…
My neighbor doesn't close the blinds when he changes.. I don't enjoy seeing his overweight naked body!
Hey, Ballard was full of Norwegians, not just Swedes…Did you know that?
My folks had the Ballard Fish & Oyster Co. for many years. My dad made the pickled herring and lutefisk. Many items were imported from Norway along with the fish cake machines that my folks made fish cakes on. Ballard hospital and several restaurants and old people's homes ordered them. Yummy.
I graduated from Ballard High school and married my high school sweetheart. We've been married 51 years.
