The Great Retirement Cook-Out



It's official-the cake says so!



Daren smoked pig.  B flew up from palm beach.  Connie fell out in wal-mart and wasn't allowed to fly.  R&V were on their last weekend leave from hope lodge.  k3, r&r plus lily made the drive.  butch bought a ton of beer, and i made 2 gallons of margaritas.  We were ready!!

We had a really beautiful day for a cook-out.  a bit warm, but not so you couldn't stand it.  We ate, drank and made merry.  someone kept moving my big girl sippie cup with the pink lid causing me to call amber alerts to find it.  Wanda found out k3's ron was a damn steeler fan too.  i'm not sure which one put a child up to rubbing the steelers huggie on me, but i'm betting they were both involved. 

butch was always on the move and happy to have everyone here, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, kids, dogs and even an appearance by cheba the cat.
