I am a Yankee Doodle Girrrrl!

Well, not really but it was on TCM today so does that count? We had a FABulous holiday weekend food & fun extravaganza. Beach day,  Joe's Crab Shack *with Aimee*, PF Changs *with Story & Chris*, Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles for brunch *with Leslie & Stephen* and BBQ all day today. I'm sure we've gained 10 pounds. Antz made the best chicken ever *the marinade was scrumptious* and I made fruit kebabs. Story and Chris came over and Story made delicious grilled peaches in a sugary brandy sauce *so yum* We sat outside and watched Liv splash around in her awesome inflatable pool.

Yikes, our grass is totally dead. Boo, it would be a waste to start watering it now. Maybe next year our lawn will get back to it's former glory

I did a ton this weekend, including finally getting Snowball IV washed and stickered.
