Memorial Day

So Doug had this slamming chair, that lounged back in a perfect position and had this excellent tray for, uh, stuff.

Here's Phil making an entrance with a fully folded out chair.


Hi, Chip!

The girls. What DO they talk about?


Donna's butt, which she claimed she had been working off. Looks like that's true.


No pictures please!!!!!!!


A coleus planter.

The lovely Christine. For some reason, I felt obligated to capture the entire Parsons clan.


And, of course, the chow. Meat, Amy's potatoes.


Connie's ensalada caprese, as Gus called and Annette said she thought he was mixing two foreign languages, as he was. So continental, that Gus. Martha's cucumbers, Deb Helmboldt's cole slaw, Chip's beans and rice.


The requested beans, and all those chips. TWO potato salads.


Here's what a plateful looked like.


Cards were played.


Donna thought it would be HIlarious if people all brought beans so here's hers.
