Day Two Hundred Sixty Six 2011

BOOT SCOOTIN’ BBQ!








Had a great time this evening at the 3rd annual Boot Scootin’ BBQ at my mom’s assisted living home. It is a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Tennessee, and there is always a big turnout for this shindig. The Back Roads Band, an excellent local group, played country tunes and had everybody dancing or tapping their toes. The food was yummy (especially the homemade banana pudding!). There was a silent auction (I got outbid on a couple of items). And there were games and things for the kids to play. I snapped a few pictures and caught family members in various stages of chewing, but that’s okay. It means they were having a boot scootin’ good time. Welcome Autumn! Happy Fall, Y'all!!

The gang's all here! Shelby, Elijah, Holly, Julia, Sarah, Kelly, Don, and Mom dig in to the traditional meal of Savory Pulled Pork BBQ, Southwest Chili, Mexican Cornbread, Cole Slaw, Hot Dogs (enormous!), Fritos, drinks and Killer Brownies.

Kelly, Don, Ann, and Mom enjoy the meal and the fact that it finally quit raining and we got to be outside.

Ken, Neil, Mom, and Jane in various stages of filled stomach contentment, waiting for the band to play.

Listen to the band! The Back Roads Band performs country cover tunes that keep your boots scootin'. Even though Elijah kept shouting out "Freebird!", they never did play it.

Mom and her kids. We've never needed an excuse to get together and have some fun, but we do take advantage of any opportunity, like the Boot Scootin' BBQ and Homecoming. We had a blast and the proceeds go to the Alzheimer's Association.
