By the lack of posts, I see that y'all are out enjoying the weather, like I will be in about 2 minutes.
1 - Made cole slaw and potato salad - gone mayo crazy - for a cookout tomorrow
2 - Went to a friend's last-minute backyard party last night for ribs - good, since I was craving them!
3 - Swimming tomorrow too? Depends on how hot it gets but we might all go to the lake.
4 - Made turkey and biscuits for supper sometime this week. Yumm, it smells soooo good. Maybe I'll make one of those turkey pies with crust, instead. Thanks!
5 - Found out friends were in town when they stopped by and invited us to the lake (a different one, one you wouldn't wanna swim in) for a nice long boat ride this afternoon. I swear upstate New York is the only place where you have to carry sunscreen and a snowbrush in the car together ;o) ('brought the snowbrush inside when we got home - used it about a month ago though!)
6 - And now in the true spirit of the holiday: Decided not to go to the Watchfire ceremony tonight. It mildly upset me a couple years ago to see all those NEW, perfectly fine, beautiful flags being torched!! I know it's a tribute to the veterans, but I think they should only allow old, tattered flags that are ready to be disposed of, to be put into the fire. Is it ME?! Went to a parade instead. The birthplace of Memorial Day, Waterloo, is just down the road an hour or so, and they always have a great one, but it just didn't fit into the plans this year. They have it on May 30th, no matter what day it falls on. I think that's nice and we always try to go.
(Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Eva. Thinking of you...)
