The Best Memorial Day EVER!




This year I spent Memorial Day with my sister, brother-in-law, neice-in-law, and grand-nephew in Tunnel Hill, Georgia. We had so much fun! In addition to watching Brady-Boy (he is soooo cute!), Melody fixed an awesome meal of ribs, Corley-corn, slaw and watermelon. While doing that, she taught Alyssa and me to knit! We went to Walmart and picked out needles and cotton yarn to make dishclothes. We sat out under the trees where there was a delightful breeze and chatted. Grandpa Doug took Brady-Boy up and down the street in his stroller which they both loved. However, when it came to eating his first watermelon, Brady definitely did NOT love that! The look on his face as he spit it out was endearingly pathetic. Later, we wrapped up the evening by watching the most appropriate DVD for the day, "Flyboys". I have SOOOOOOOOOO enjoyed haveing Melody and Doug here this year. It is just too sad to contemplate how much I will miss them when they go back to Mexico.

Sounds like a blast! Wish I'd been there! Love from Colorado! By the way, the kids are still playing with their castles and doll houses. It amazes me! Usually a gift ends up at the bottom of the toy box and it is out with the old and in with the new, but these books have broken every toy record out there!

Sounds like fun! We were determined not to buy gas on the holiday so we just stayed home. We didn't do much except smoke ribs, I made potato salad and baked beans and peaches on shortcakes. We watched the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600.
I imagine it will be hard on all of you when they go back to Mexico.
