04 Jul 05 4th of July

Hotdogs, hamburgers, potato salad, cole slaw, chips, and home made ice-cream; yes, it must be the fourth of July. Did I miss menu items?

Reese and I went to Costco yesterday afternoon for a few things and there was not a hamburger or hotdog bun to be found in the entire place. Shelves that are normally filled with bread were as bare as old mother hubbard’s cupboard. Good thing we were not there for bread!

No, this year we are exercising our liberties and freedoms and having a different menu. We will honor the Navy with our menu this year:

Grilled Fresh Alaska Coho Salmon (wild not farmed - the wild ones have mohawks and piercings)
Grilled Jumbo Gulf Shrimp
Beth’s infamous (more than famous) Shrimp Salad
Beth’s infamous Rice Pilaf
Potato Rolls
and of course, Home-Made Ice-Cream

We have friends driving up from Blacksburg, Virginia to spend the day with us. I’m hoping to convince everyone to watch fireworks on the big screen. Though I’m not much of a massive crowd person to begin with, tonight following the fireworks here in DC they are going to use the crowds to test the new emergency evacuation plan.

I hope the plan works, I plan not to be there.
