happy memorial day!

May 31

we really had a great weekend – we went to five events over three days.  wooh!  we’re wiped-out.  but the girls had a blast.  they played for 72 hours straight – BBQing, swimming, sleep over, party, party, party!  my aunt and uncle and cousins had an awesome memorial day party.  one thing my family doesn’t lack is a funny, humorous perspective on life.  they had an “americana” party in my uncle’s 6,000 square foot “workshop.”  it’s bigger than our house and pretty darn impressive.   he’s organized, clean and if anything ever breaks – he’s the first to offer to fix it.  he has a wall of nuts and bolts, rows of every kind of liquid, grease, goop, whatever it’s called to fix your car.  i am planning a coup and thinking of moving “three sisters jewelry” into the workshop (he doesn’t know this yet).  he has a dune buggy hanging from a lift, his harley roped off with police tape and he even pulled my cousin’s trailer inside to make it homey.  they served american foods: chili dogs, burgers, bean dip from a can, fritos and mom’s apple pie. the only thing missing was the cheese whiz.  they played some kick-ass country music and whooped it up.  i was overly impressed and had laughed pretty hard!  i love my family – they’re fun and so super cool.  my cousins even flew in from colorado to surprise everyone!  it was a great day!

    well, i guess fun was had by all. we figured about 65 people showed up and all agree this has to become a yearly tradition.(so i guess i know what i’ll be doing every Memorial Day from now on.) last party guests left about 12:30A.M. had a nice little campfire too. perhaps next year we’ll start a bit later. smores whould have been nice! glad you had a good time. by the way, i think jud could spare a bit of room for threesisters. i can always give you my furniture refinishing corner too. the colorado group had a blast also (even though their plane flight home was delayed two hours.)
