Memorial Day Weekend

Yay!!! The first big holiday weekend of the summer is here! We have had a great Memorial Day weekend! We've gotten a lil bit of everything in....

the most adorable bulldog puppy at the BBQ Cookoff....
lil football with Dalton's buddy at the Blues and Jazz Festival...
lil bit of a tribute to the Blues Brothers....:)
lil bit of dirt work....

and a lil bit of some fire truck training! (visiting Daddy at work)
But most of all we were grateful to those that have fought and died to defend our freedom so that we can enjoy such luxuries as these! Thank you all! May God have His hand on our country!

The South

Our family recently returned from a trip to Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC. I cannot say enough how in love I am with the true South. My mother-in-law lives in Tennessee and she is who we went to visit. Usually we go visit her in Tennessee, but this time we met in Greenville, SC and from there took a road trip to Savannah and Charleston. Savannah was just the most charming and beautiful town. I loved all of the gigantic Live Oak trees with all the Spanish Moss (which is neither Spanish or moss, I learned) hanging from their endless limbs. The architecture was amazing and the history even more intriguing. I can't wait to go back! Oh and dare I not mention the food! The food was just down my alley. It reminded me of my late grandma's cooking that I still crave today! Greens, black-eyed peas, cobblers, cornbread, fried chicken, and ofcourse sweet tea! Mmmmm....gettin' hungry!
