I am learning this blogger biz :).  It's always funny how I seem to get "rid" of the things I shouldn't.  I had 2 posts and one had an original recipe by me, yay :),  Not anymore.  I can always repost later.  My post was made back in September of 2012.  Wow, where does all the time go???

I am still not sure of what I expect from this blog, but it does say to tell about your life.  So, here is short story....that is what I call them.

My bro's birthday is this weekend, Memorial Day, and to make it special I am meeting his second daughter for the second first time.  Confusing huh???  Last time I saw her, she was still in diapers and just learned to walk.  She grew up to be a beautiful 18 year old. 

We are having a BBQ not only to celebrate the weekend, but my bro's BDay and the meeting of the niece.  We text a lot and finally I can FaceTime her.  Her older sister lives about 5 minutes from me...we see each other maybe once a year.  This is the year to get to know everyone again.  I love my family!!!

On with the menu - typical one, hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans, spinach dip, baked mac & cheese - niece makes this - and the usual condiments.  So, what is so special about this since it could be an everyday menu.  Love of family and getting together is what makes its special.
