Memorial Day 2008

Mum’s Day 08

This year, we wanted to do something special for the Moms, so Sandy and I planned a five-course meal for lunch. Then Jimi got involved and kicked it up a notch … or should I say 6 notches. The menu became very complex! I had visions of Hell’s Kitchen. It took days to prepare for the event. Happily everything …

More importantly the white beans were fermenting all throughout the night. Come on admit it! Afterwards we revived the card game a**hole, in which I ended up the… well you …

Christmas Eve Wii

This year we went to Auntie Amy’s for Christmas Eve. As she usually does, there was enough food to feed ten families and everything was terrific. After dinner Jen & Rick whipped out their Wii unit. Now I’m not into video games but I’ll have to admit I had fun. Special Thanks to Lyle for …
