I will unfortunately have to bow out once more . A very good friend of ours, a 95-year-old lady who has been like a grandmother to my sister and me, (our paternal grandparents are either dead or not in the area), has been on hospice for a while due to inoperable breast cancer and other health issues and looks to be reaching her final days. She has been struggling with swallowing for the past week, and if you can't swallow, you can't eat or drink, and if you can't eat or drink, well...

Only 3 days to go!!!!!

I'm getting everything set up, the awards are ready, and the weather looks like it will be nice.

I'll update the list later today after I'm done with setting up.

Let me know ASAP if you're planning to attend. I only have today and tomorrow to get food and drinks taken care of.

It's TODAY!!!

We can start at 11am and go until whenever.

I'll do Burgers, Smoked Chicken Breast, Smoked Brats, Roasted Veggies, Quinoa Salad, and beverages including some home brew, soda, and water.

As always I had a fantastic time this year. Glad to introduce you all to Julie and I hope everyone enjoyed our tomato salad and/or our devilish dark chocolate and peanut butter brownies. =)

Was that the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella salad or the cherry tomato salad? They were both devastatingly good.

Alas, due to other summer Benz road trips....I had to miss this GTG.

It is on the plan for next year....if you'll have me.

Looks like it was a great turn out.

Good job, Chad.
