Memorial Day May 28

Happy Memorial Day.  Even though we had intermittant rain bands and winds today from TS Beryl, it didn't put a damper on our celebrating with the boys. (Valerie was with her parents, and Amber is in Seattle on Nat'l Reserve Duty).

We put out our American Flag.  We are grateful for those men and women who serve our country.  Their sacrifices made are truly appreciated.  The flag did have to come down during a torrential downpour. :(

Michael smoked chicken breasts on the smoker.  They were almost finished before another torrential rain band came through and snuffed out his fire.  He finished cooking them in the microwave.  At least he had a good two hours of little rain.  They turned out very tender and juicy.  YUM. :)

 Clif and Stephen had time to build a train base for Stephen.  He has been working on the plans for a few months now, and it's nice to see his efforts coming to fruition.  He will be putting it in his spare bedroom in his apartment.

        
After dinner, we enjoyed playing Ticket To Ride.  Now Clif and I are just enjoying a little quiet time before the start of our new work week.  It has been a very relaxing weekend. For that I am grateful. :)
