Happy Sunday!
Yesterday we had the hubby’s family over for a big ole BBQ. And by that I mean we had twice baked potatoes, baked beans, salad, yummy bread, and my hubs smoked SIX racks of ribs.
So when I say we had a big ole BBQ, I mean we are all bigger than we were before.
Our nephews played with Murphie until they were all worn out. It was perfect on all accounts.
