A Grand Weekend

It was a fantastic holiday weekend to be in the Heart of the Lakes with family and friends, to see the numerous flags and campfires, and activities of fun and remembrance. It was one of the nicest weekends weather-wise we had seen in a number of years. (Anyone recall the hail of 2008? – Many are still getting new roofs and siding from that!)

To keep with our own Memorial Weekend tradition, we had a little fun in the yard…

… and on Saturday, the sky cam was downtown for the Chili Cook-off, where our secret recipe took home the 2009 People’s Choice Award!

Tom’s secret recipe went fast! Of course, no one wanted to miss the table with the silver ladle on it!

Great job Tom, Gary, Justin, Carla, and Steve for putting together another successful year at the cook-off!

Start your weekend with some chili!
