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 …
Burds Nest
While I was out of town, Sandy called me up one night asking why I cut the screen on the window. I had no idea what she was talking about, but when I got home I noticed the large gap in the screen and assumed it was from the windy nights. This morning Sandy spotted …

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 …
