FMM time!!!

Shawn is hosting FMM this week. She wants to know about our Independence Day plans.







Her are the ques. and ANSWERS!!!

What are you doing on the 4th of July?

I am spending my weekend at my dads bestfriends lake house. My parents, my dads best friend, Wayne, his wife, and possibly their kids will be spending our weekend in the middle of the boon docks on the lake. I will definately be getting my work out because you have to hike up and down a really really steep hill to get to the water, but the place is amazing and I love going. We will be cooking out and I'm pretty sure there will be fireworks over the water. It will be lovely.

What is your favorite dish to bring to a BBQ?

My favorite dish to bring to a barbeque is probably baked beans. We use a can of pork and beans and add ketchup, mustard, worchestershire sauce, brown sugar, and onions. It is really yummy. I havent had any in a while and cant wait to get some. For a healthier choice, I love to get the broccoli cole slaw in the bag at the grocery store and prepare it just like regular slaw. It is extremely delicious. That might actually be another thing for me to fix while we are there.

Do you have any Independence Day traditions?

Growing up my dads side of the family and us used to all carry our campers to the lake or to carabelle beach and spend the week or two weeks at one of the places. We were always very close and everybody always met up around my granny's camper for lunch or supper. My granny was an excellent cook and who I take after. After my granny died, we pretty much got pushed to the side. My daddy began working all the time and my grandpa brought a place at the lake and soon after the rest of the kids did also. My dad doesnt have time to spend every weekend over there because he's always working, so we pretty much were not considered part of the family anymore. The place they stay at now is definately not the same. For the past few years we have spent our fourth of july with Mr. Wayne and Mrs. Elizabeth. They have pretty much over the years become my dads family and they treat us like we are family. I am looking forward to another great weekend at the lake with them.
