Memorial Day Fun!

With my job, it is very rare to get a holiday weekend off. Due to a problem with scheduling, I got this entire weekend off and enjoyed it thoroughly. Today the family came over for a cookout. The menu included ribeye steaks, hamburgers, hotdogs, hashbrown casserole, pasta salad, a vegetable casserole, and probably something else that I am forgetting at the moment. Oh yeah, I can't forget the desserts. There was apple pie, a pecan praline cake, and chocolate 4 layer dessert. Everything was so good.

Besides eating, we watched "Emergency" dvds ( a birthday gift for my husband). I watched that program as a child and hadn't seen it in years. It was fun to remember the old shows, and to look at how things like the clothing styles have changed in 30 years. We also watched some "Dukes of Hazzard" reruns. (My 2 nephews are crazy about the Dukes. One of them says when he grows up he is going to change his name to Bo Duke). Also, my brother-in-law, John, let me drive his new (well, more like gently used) BMW around the neighborhood. How fun! It will likely be the only time I am behind the wheel of a BMW.

A good time was had by all, and of course we all ate way too much. Nobody should have to cook again for a day or two, with all the leftovers.
