June 19th 2016 And We Were There
Mary and Fred invited us to their home for a bar-b-que on a nice (and hot) Saturday afternoon! Please enjoy the bar-b-que with special friends!
Fred & Mary were divorced in 2018.
Jan was there and she made some jalapeno surprises
(Fred told everyone they were horrible so he could eat them all)
"Time to start the BBQ!"
The fire is about ready!
Checking the heat level and getting a little visitor
"It's ready!"
"Just teasing... Everything is under control!"
Mary captures the moment!
She needs to get a picture of Fred before his hair is singed!
Smile!
Fred changed into his BBQ costume
It smelled so very good!
"Get ready... Here they come!"
Fred is an expert at "Well Done"
Magnificent!
Mary captures the essence of the moment
His eye is on the plate!
Just inches away!
All smiles!
"Do you want to know how I bar-b-que when in the field?"
Yes... Beer is essential for field bar-b-ques!
Chocolate dipped strawberries! Nummy Nummy!
