Father's Day BBQ June 13, 2008

Several of us gathered at Preston's and Kathleen's home on Friday, June 13th for an early Father's Day celebration. We had a great time at their home just relaxing on a beautiful day. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and lots of other great food: watermelon, chocolate chip cookies (yum!..send the recipe to me Kathleen!), cabbage salad, tossed salad, "Mom's" shrimp macaroni salad, chips, root beer floats and corn. Mark and Preston especially appreciate that Anne's seems to cook like Mom and so they just gobbled down the shrimp macaroni salad. Hey! I never even got a little spoonful you big boys!! Dad/Grandpa George received several gifts and among them were a couple of handsome shirts (blue of course!), a new bird book (one can always use a new one), and a bird feeder. He also received $$$ to go towards his new "walking stick." Such a great day for all of us.

Just a suggestion to the rest of you: get on the ball and create a family blog of your own and/or post family news and photos here where we can all enjoy it! And have you taken the time to vote whether this is a good thing or not? Take the time to do it. This is a great thing that we've started. Everyone (and that means all of us!) can contribute to this and help us all remain connected and knowing how we are and what is happening in our families. Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to contribute in one way or another to our "Comes In Handy" blog. It's a great thing! Can't get any better than this...or can it?
