HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY 2014

This was a really great weekend!! It was full of laughter, family, friends and plenty of food.

 

My future sister and law and her hubby were throwing a Memorial Day party so I decided to make something Patriotic. You have no idea, I love to cook but I can't bake. For once it was a success.

 

While we all got ready for the party we took turns having Ryder time.

Isn't he adorable!!!

“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.” – President Harry S. Truman

 



As people arrived we sat out all the appetizers and

 

everyone started chatting and playing the different games.

 

(I barley saw the future hubby, he loves corn hole)

 

All the men.....

but this one is the best looking one!!

 



Then all the ladies and this cute little fellar.

 

After we snacked on the appetizers, we all watched the kids play

 

and some of us even joined in on the playing.

 

Then me and this cutie had to take some selfies.

 

This picture kills me.

 

We clearly had a blast.

 

Another little cutie.....they were everywhere :)

 

Too cool for school!!!

After everyone worked up an appetite we all gathered together and filled our plates.

 



 

Nothing beats being with family and friends on a Holiday.

 

Thank you to all that have served and who are still serving. Words can't express how grateful we are for each and every one of you!!

 

 

M1: sub egg, spinach, ff cheese and veggie sausage

M2: noodless lasagna





M3: almonds

Flights, Work, Corvettes & the Indy Speedway

So Wednesday around lunch I headed to the airport to head off to Indianapolis for work. We were having an event there for our Partners so I was excited to get to go because I have never been.  I made sure since I wasn't sure when I would get to eat to pack a snack and of course some reading material.

 

 

After delays and bad weather I finally made it!!

 

I grabbed my ride (which was a new escalade, I felt fancy) and

 

headed to the hotel. I couldn't get over all the rain and how flat Indy was.

 

It finally lightened up so after I checked in I took and short little walk to check out the city. It was actually not what I expected at all. I was very impressed with the downtown.

 

The next morning we had meetings till lunch and then we all gathered in vans and headed to the really fun part of the event.

 

Indianapolis Motor Speedway

 

 

We had a suite that over looked the track so we got to have lunch and watch the cars qualify for the Indy 500.

 

After we ate we decided to head down and check out all the fancy cars.

This one was my favorite and I am not even a car person.

 

Here are just a few of the cars. I couldn't tell you anything about them except that they were pretty, fancy and expensive :)

 

I'm pretty sure this one was not for sale!

 

See they do have mountains in Indy :)

I asked to get in this one to get a pic but they

 

let me get in this one instead. I guess that was okay.

 

After walking around for a while it was time for me to head back to the airport to catch my flight so I got in a race car and headed that way.

 

Kidding this nice fellar gave me a ride to my car. He said he rides about 30 miles a day but CARRYING people. I can't imagine the calories he burns.

 

I then headed to the airport and caught my flight and headed back to SC.

 

Indy thanks for having me, but it sure feels good to be home.

 

 

M1: 2 eggs with spinach

M2: grilled chicken salad

M3: fruit

M4: not sure yet :)
