Celebrating Texas Independence Day here in the sunshine,
cool temps, light breeze (hey, we don't get that much cool

Celebrations call for food, but which ones? Bar-b-que,
fajitas, tortillas, enchiladas, grilled shrimp, jambalaya, crawfish,
chicken-fried steak, a big ol' T-bone, an original Tx. hamburger
(Athens claims to be the birth place of the hamburger),
black-eyed peas, bratwurst, fried okra, peach cobbler, pecan pie...
oh, the list is almost endless, and delicious. I think we'll
start w/ some chips and homemade salsa and whatever comes in-between
we'll finish w/ a fabulous dessert including a scoop of
Bluebell Ice Cream. Oh, yum!
Quilters gotta' eat!

...and my son shares his birthday with Sandy. He is a tad younger
though. He is at his new job and in the paper online:

Happy Birthday Sandy. I know you can party up for at least a week.
Heck go for a month : )

Are you celebrating Casimir Pulaski's birthday because you have the
day off?
