Crazy4Fiction Summer Book Bash #3: A Whidbey Island Summer Picnic

Welcome, friends, but let’s hurry! We don’t want to miss the ferry to Whidbey Island. Whew, okay, we made it, and now thirty minutes later, we’ve left “the world” behind and can enjoy this beautiful island.

After a short drive in Helen’s restored Buick, let’s park, head through the gates, past the barn and house, and meet the rest of our friends in their gorgeous, flourishing garden. Eunhee and Grace are already here, and Johanna got up early to make her Sin rolls. What? Yes, for sure. Pop a cherry tomato in your mouth on the way in. There’ll be individual bouquets on the table for everyone to take, too.

What? You’re new here and don’t know much of this story? Welcome –everyone is welcome at our picnic table. Click here for an intro to the story. Then come on back for an Heirlooms Summer Picnic. Back now? Good. Hungry? Great!

We have fried chicken, potato salad, and pickled vegetables, all presented for your eating pleasure in two ways: one that might be more familiar to you, and also, Korean style. I’d advise choosing some of each because they are both fantastic.

Don’t eat birds? Neither does DJ. How about a slice of vegetarian quiche?

You’re going to want a hand pie – peach – for dessert. They’re Cassidy’s specialty, you’ll remember, but the blackberries aren’t ripe yet.

Helen and Cassidy put together a playlist and Nick brought out the audio equipment to set the mood. Here’s a link to the list in case you want to use it at your own summer garden party. Want to dance? DJ’s ready to get us started!

Wow, the entire day has gone, but there is nothing more beautiful than sunset on Whidbey Island. So what do you say we skip the ferry and take a quiet ride on a small boat back to town – and to the next Crazy4Fiction Summer Book Bash stop!
