Well, the summer did start with a bang. That makes me so happy!
I want to take a minute to say that there is nothing more heart warming and soul satisfying as knowing people that will take you in and make you a part of their family -- especially during holidays. When Mouse and I are alone, a long holiday weekend is a quiet and lonely event. I don't look forward to them.
This Memorial Day Mouse and I were invited to a friends house for Saturday and Sunday. So were a few of our other friends and their kids. It ended up being a two day celebrations of friends, kids and food. And it was glorious.
Saturday was burgers and goodies and lots of pool time.
I believe we had 15 kids total that day between 6 families.
We had scattered rain storms both days but they had a couple of easy-ups that we could hide under if nothing else.
Sunday was a Crayfish Boil. I elected to bring hot dogs for mouse and I. What can I say. I'm not very adventurous with my meats. But I did try them (a first) and I did help peel for the kids....which helped me get over it.
What makes it hard is when I was growing up I loved it when my dad would take us to the creek late at night to catch crawdads. See, where I grew up it was bait...not dinner. LOL
The spices were amazing. LOVED the corn and potatoes! Spicy good!
So it was a wonderful weekend. Not too hot. Lots of laughs. The kids wore themselves out -- and you know it doesn't get any better than that. And it was with some of my favorite people in the whole world.
A perfect holiday weekend. (At least as perfect as it can be without Hubs with us.)
We all needed Monday as a recovery day!
Hoping all my friends and family were able to spend time with people they love!
