O K here goes for the 4 th
Everything was great as alway, course I had help. I started with a ( what we call a round robin pray, we hold hands in a circle and the one to my starts the pray (normally my sister) and it goes to the next. If someone doesn't wish to pray, thats fine, after a brief pause it goes on the the next until its back to me and I close it. (course the line stays open all the time). Then someone grabs a plate and start around the tables loading up. I grab a glass of tea and sit back and watch as they go round trying to decide what they want first. My biggest enjoyment comes when they start to eat and decide the pray really works.
Well Kim got to make her ice cream. She took all the recipes and made it to her taste. It was a 1 gal. freezer, so she had to make to, wish work out good because it was all eaten.
Well to shorten this story, I was left with about 3 to 4 pounds of ribs, after everyone which wanted a doggy bag was through.

22 lbs. country styled ribs
11 lbs. baby backs
4 lbs. brats
2 lbs hot dogs
2 4qt. crook pots grilled beans (fresh form G. Bush's garden)
2 5qt. crooks Brunswick stew ( couldn't find a fresh opossum)
cakes, pies, cookies, and the ice cream
and tea, cokes ,milk, coffee and punch
With that many people and no hard feeling (shown)
and my 24 yr. grand daughter came out with a large bag of balloons. I ask, who would want that, and I found out. I did have to ask they to clean up the yard of all those yellow and orange balloons after the water battle. I really don't think I had as much fun when I was a kid as they did throwing those balloons at eacher. No water in the house, and none on the adults, altho they did offer to give gramps some, which I decide gracefully, thank you every much.
Well, enough about our day, and hope God blessed you and yours as well.

Enjoyed the read - - - 100% American and 100% FAMILY & FRIENDS - - left me with a "Walton" feeling and made me hungry at the same time.

Final thoughts: "You are a blessed and lucky man !"
