Rather than treat this as another day off and grill a big steak for dinner, I thought I’d go to the Memorial Day service here at Bay Farm Island to remember those who gave their lives for our country. Then we went to our neighbor’s house for a steak dinner.

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 …
Valentine’s Day

Christmas Light Madness

Merry Christmas 2007
While not as good as Jim’s, here’s our Christmas Card offering. Merry Christmas!

Vacashun Day 4
