Great Food!
Great Friends!
Great Times!
Duane and I were concerned about celebrating Independence Day this year. It is one of our favorite holidays, and in the past, we have all (and I do mean ALL---10 to 20 people, plus dogs!!!) spent the Fourth playing, eating, fishing, boating, and resting at Robert's lakehouse on Lake Limestone. Our guys always put on a spectacular fireworks display; it is always a GREAT time. But this year would be different...Duane couldn't get any time off from work; he even worked on July 4, and Robert's lakehouse & pier suffered lots of wind/rain/storm damage this spring. But...the Dragers came to our rescue, thank goodness!!! Jeremy smoked a brisket (YUM!!!), and Chris brought his famous stuffed jalepenos. Even Casey contributed to the meal; he came over to our house early that day and made the pinwheel appetizers! We brought our Wii for entertainment, and spent hours racing, competing, playing, and laughing!!! Oh the smack talking that went around the room!!! Even Crystal muttered a few choice phrases under her breath as her MarioCart character careened off of the path and into the abyss! We had a fabulous time eating, visiting, and playing. Steep Hollow Baptist Church put on a super fireworks show, complete with patriotic music, and the Drager's backyard deck was the perfect spot for viewing the show. It was a great holiday celebration! Happy Birthday, America!!!
