Bocce Ball, Burgers, and American Pride.

Memorial Day

in the South

is the unofficial 

kick-off to summer fun.

So today, we celebrated accordingly,

with laid-back family time,

grilled burgers, baked beans and watermelon,

and some friendly competition via a few of our favorite lawn games.

These are my favorite kinds of days.

But as we enjoyed ourselves,

the sacrifices that so many Americans have made

were not far from my mind.

Today I remembered the many heroes that have died for our freedom,

and give special thanks for the men and women who are out there 

defending our great United States.

Hope you all had a wonderful lonnnnng weekend!

It's back to reality now....

if you are in need of an easy and delicious dinner

to whip up tomorrow night,

I'm sharing the recipe of

one of my favorite yummy Mexican meals

at my sweet friend Kyna's blog. 

Go check it out! 

Your tummy will thank you.
