Memorial Day Weekend....


I worked Friday night; slept for a while Saturday then went to my BFF's Saturday evening for some much needed R & R. She is always such a good host. She ordered pizza & we ate that and drank wine while attempting to watch a movie. After that I gained 5 more pounds eating an awesome blackberry cobbler. Then Sunday am she made a very yummy breakfast. I left early because everyone was at Mom's having lunch.

Mom out did herself in the kitchen as always. Smoked sausage & grilled chicken w/corn on the cob, potatoes, carrots, mac & cheese, field peas, rolls, strawberry shortcake, etc. And as you can see the kids had a good time in the pool. Addie even got to get her feet wet.

After lunch; me, Cecilia, Kayla, Gabi and Brianna drove to Decatur to see the Hot Air Balloons at Point Mallard. Because of the weather none of the balloons even set up. :-( We did enjoy watching Brianna scale a wall and we all bought tote bags. It took us longer to get there than we stayed but that's ok.

Memorial Day is always a tough holiday for us. That's when Dad passed away, it's hard to believe that was 12 years ago.
