Day One Hundred Fifty 2012

Enjoyed one last lunch with my peeps before everyone packed up and headed for home after the Memorial Day weekend. Ocha Thai food deli is so totally yummy!

I suggested doughnuts from Ralph’s, but the grandpeeps wanted ice cream from Cream City. Grandson Elijah’s fave flavor is called Superman, which is actually rainbow colored vanilla ice cream. He also tried a scoop of cookie dough. I love his Superman-blue mustache.

Grandson Knox didn’t get any ice cream, but I don’t think he cared too much. He was ready for a nap.

Day One Hundred Forty Nine 2012

We enjoyed a low key Memorial Day, swinging on the front porch and then watching the fountain at Dogwood Park this afternoon. The sound of the water lulled grandson Knox right to sleep. A nice lady offered to take our picture.
Happy Memorial Day, America! A heartfelt Thank You! to all those who served this country in the armed forces and gave their lives so that we can live in freedom.

Day One Hundred Forty Eight 2012

We enjoyed a Memorial Day Weekend marshmallow and hot dog roast in our back yard this evening. Son in law Jerry and hubby Neil are ready to roast.

With record temperatures this weekend, it wasn’t the best conditions for a camp fire, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time and stuffing ourselves with roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.

Here is son in law Jerry’s perfect S’more. His secret is letting the chocolate melt beside the fire while he roasts his marshmallows. Talk about yummy! This picture doesn’t do it justice because of the shadows on the plate. I didn’t take many pics tonight because the ones I did take turned out totally blurry. We had a most excellent time!  Happy Memorial Day Weekend, America!

Day One Hundred Forty Seven 2012

It’s that time of year again—sweet corn! Found some yummy ears at Kroger this afternoon. Wish I’d bought more.

Also bought some Salmon for two. This was farm grown Atlantic Salmon for $4.99 a pound. The lady in front of me at the seafood counter bought the wild Alaskan Salmon for $14.99 a pound. I’ll bet mine tasted every bit as good as hers did.

We bought these Fiesta plates at the Nashville Flea Market yesterday. It was the only thing I bought. I love that they’re square, and I love the colors of Fiesta ware. I told Neil that some grilled Salmon would taste great on these plates. And some fresh corn on the cob.

And it did! Neil grilled some of the best Salmon I’ve ever eaten. And the corn was sweet and juicy. Are you hungry yet?

This is me, enjoying my scrumptious meal.

Juicy red sweet seedless watermelon for dessert! It is officially summertime!

We drove over to Dogwood Park to see what that awesome fountain looks like at night. It is lit up with ever-changing colors—red, yellow, purple, blue, green, gold. Really beautiful. Lots of people there, splashing in the water, even at 9:30 pm.





















Neil and I plan to hang out here as often as possible.
