Remembering All Veterans on Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a time when our country takes the time to remember those who died while serving in the United States armed forces. Let's pause and take a minute to remember them.
Let's expand that a bit and also take the time to remember and thank all the men and women who have served, or currently serve, in our military.
Are you a veteran? Do you have a veteran in your family?

Charcoal or Gas Grill?
We use gas....I kind of get sick from the smell of the lighter fluid when my neighbor lights his charcoal....it always seems to blow into our garage even though I keep the window shut because of that.....we used to use charcoal many years ago..

Memorial Day
Friends of ours always have a BBQ. At some point over the weekend we'll be there. I'm also looking forward to staying home, relaxing and hanging around the yard for part of the weekend too.

Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese?
I would never make macaroni and cheese for Thanksgiving....I am too traditional for that. BUT!!!!!! I make it for other times, and everyone always loves it! I love macaroni and cheese myself, and like trying different recipes....... but I always go back to my personal favorite. made with Velveeta. I will look at your recipe and give it a try...... thanks!
