Happy Fourth of July 2008








Good times had by all. Had a great time up north. The food, as it always is when Mel cooks and Shane runs the grill, perfection. And plenty of it. The girls were, as Willa calls them, Superstars the whole day. Mel brought her new husband Patrick, and her daughter Hopi. A very beautiful young lady she has grown into. I still see the little hopi, so hard to imagine them getting older, along with me. Was great seeing Mel and her family. New hubby seems like an ok guy. I wish her the best in her happiness. The memu: bbq chicken, steaks, and ribs. Mels ribs. no more be said. and howled out WallaWalla sweet onion with a pat of butter and a bouloun cube in the center and set on the back of the grill till done. That is a really cool way to grill onions. Cut up after they are cooked. Salads: green, potato, pasta, that is Willa's area. Mel made her mac and cheese. Brings back childhood for me. And her Cuban rice. To die for. I did dessert. Chocolate with more Chocolate Cake. Zoe was so worried I was going to take the cake home. She kept checking to make sure the cake was staying. By the time we ate, which was about 8:15 it was getting time for the fireworks and we were all ready for a nap. The fireworks were all around us and on our street as well. It was a good show. I was glad I went. And Miley and Bubba did just fine. Hope all of you had as much fun at your celebration as I did.
