Fifth of July

I don't like to post things out of chronological order. However, since I haven't done many posts in the last month, I'm just going to try and let you know what's been going on. Forgive me if everything is out of order.

As I said in an earlier post, I was sick the week before the Fourth of July. On the fifth, I was starting to feel better, finally, but still not 100%. Scott's brother, Brad, and his girlfriend, Liz, were coming through town on the fifth and we had planned to get together with Brad, Liz, Scott's Dad and Rona. I wasn't much of a hostess, but thanks to my sweet husband and Rona, we had some great food. Scott smoked ribs and chicken on the smoker and Rona brought all the side dishes. I did get it together enough to make dessert, though.

Brad did live in New York and was passing through Nashville because he is moving to California. We don't get to visit with him nearly as often as we would like. But, we loved that we got to visit with Liz and him.

Scott working away on the smoker. I wasn't able to eat the ribs, but everyone else LOVED them. I did eat the chicken and it was amazingly good. Scott is an excellent cook:

That night when Scott was putting Ford to bed, they were saying prayers. Scott asked Ford what he was thankful for today. Ford said making funny faces with Uncle Brad. So cute!

Even though I wasn't feeling up to par, we loved getting to spend the "fourth" with Scott's family.
