The Fourth Of July 2009


Neil + Grill = RIBS!

Terry, Ann, Ken and Audrey chew the fat while the ribs cook.

Jerry, Cynthia, Jane and Holly enjoy some laughs. Where
are those ribs?!

The wait is over! Everyone enjoyed a great meal of ribs,
corn and all sorts of to-die-for salads, Cole slaw, and cantaloupe.

Kudos to the cook!

Holly, Elijah, Kelly and Sarah dig in.

Shelby and Julia take a breather from all that food.

Sparklers are always cool.

A Fourth of July tradition.

Each year, the fireworks get bigger and better.

Elijah and Kelly (and Holly) take time out to give us a smile.

Watching the back yard fireworks is always a treat. This
year, we got rained on, but that was okay. The show must
go on!

Holly and Elijah enjoy a front row seat for the fireworks.

Happy Birthday, America! The Fourth of July Independence
Day 2009 celebration was literally a blast! Even though we
got rained on toward the last, we didn't mind. We all
enjoyed food, fireworks, family, friends, fun, freedom and the
best desserts ever! Cookies, peanut butter fudge (thanks, Jane!)
brownies, and two batches of homemade vanilla ice cream. I
enjoyed everyone and every minute of it and hope to do it all
over again next year.
