Father's Day 21

 The kids got Mike a smoker for Father's Day. Katherine brought it home and Michael helped him put it together. We will inaugurate it this coming weekend!

It will also be to celebrate Mike's birthday. He turns 67 on Friday, June 25th.

Memorial Day 21

 

Mike and I, along with Katherine and Andrew, went to Michael and Megan's for Memorial Day. We couldn't barbecue because it was pouring rain, but the food came out great cooked indoors. We had steak, sausage, shrimp (courtesy of Katherine), mac and cheese (by Megan), coleslaw (me) sausage and really yummy mini cheese cakes for dessert. It was a very enjoyable day.

Some say Memorial Day should be one of solemn reflection. I say those men and women who died fighting for our freedom did it so we can enjoy things like rainy day indoor 'barbecues'! I'm sure my Dad, Dad Pastore and my brother would be fine with a little celebrating of our freedom.
