We Remember……………
Welcome to our Memorial Day Cookout…………….my friends Gracie and Raz and I hope you enjoy yourself while you’re here! While we remember the reason for this holiday and what it really means, we also find that we just naturally want to be with our family and friends to enjoy each other’s company for time moves so quickly, and we should enjoy the moments we are lucky enough to spend together! That’s why we’re having this cookout – so we can have food, fun and share memories as well as MAKE new memories!
First of all I do hope you like the location we picked for us to have our cookout…………….we have a beautiful spot along the water in a nice park where they have all kinds of things to do and see……….but mostly it’s just peaceful by the river. Let’s start off our day together with some yummy breakfast – what do you say??
Now we can do whatever we wish – play volleyball anyone? How about a dip in the pool? Work up a bit of an appetite because before you know it the BBQ grills will be hot and we’ll be putting goodies on to cook – BBQ, burgers, hot dogs, sausage and there’s baked beans and all kinds of desserts! The BIGGEST surprise I have for you though in the food department is that my buddy Raz and our mutual friend Pete have brought their famous (to Cat Scouts!) FISH FRY TRUCK to the park and anyone who wants the very BEST of fresh seafood, make sure and visit them because they’ve got it all!!!!!
THE FABULOUS FISH FRY TRUCK !!!!!! Step right up and place your order now!!
If you get tired and just want to relax in the shade………………
AND – don’t forget to stop over at Gracie’s place HERE and Raz’s place HERE for more Memorial Day memory-making!
We hope all of you had a fabulous time with us today and tonight when you get home, light a candle of remembrance for all those who gave their lives for their country.
Make New Memories…..With Love……Sammy
Happy Memorial Day. You know how I love hammock time but that fish fry truck is better!
