Buddly's three day weekend

Saturday.
Our daughter Carly came home from Omaha for her daughters graduation and Memorial Day.

Her daughter Jasmine, Carly, and son Ethan.
Since she would be leaving Sunday morning, we had a cookout fot the kids and grandkids on Saturday.
I grilled some weenies for burnt weenie sammiches and Karen made a big skillet full of Manwich, put out some chips, watermelon and cantaloupe, and some 2 liter bottles of sodie pops.
I didn't take any pics of the cookout fare, but most of you have seen my weenie anyway. Don't wanna over do it!

Sunday.
It was just Karen and I on Sunday, so we picked up some nice hefty filet mignons and some stuffed crabs at Walmart that morning.

Mmmmmm! Medium rare filets, a couple of crabs, half a baked potato, and rolls. Don't get any better than that!
Just a nice quiet Sunday at home.
Yay!

Monday.
Karen's mom, two of her sisters, a nephew and grand niece came over around 4 for dinner.
Menu:
Grilled pork loin
Steamed asparagus
Boiled and fried new potatoes
Fresh tomatoe, cucumber, and onion medley tossed with Italian dressing
My world famous shrimp and macaroni salad
Fresh watermelon and cantaloupe tray
Sister's Parker House rolls
And, oh yeah, Key Lime pie!

Started with a 5lb pork loin, marinated overnight in Coca-Cola, garlic, and salt and pepper.

Browned him nicely on all sides, then moved it to the back of the grill and turned the rear burner off and the front to medium heat.

Made a little sauce to baste him with from 1/3 cup of apple juice and 1/3 cup of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce. Slathered him up and closed the lid. Went out about every 15 minutes, turned it, and rebasted.
After about and hour and fifteen minutes,
TaaaaDaaaa!
Pork perfection!

Everyone showed up on time (thankee Lord) and we sat the table.
Karen was busy while I was grillin'!
Boiled and fried new potatoes.

Steamed asparagus.

Cucumer, tomatoe and onion medley.

Shrimp macaroni salad, that I made yesterday.

Sister's rolls.

And the headliner, grilled pork perfection!

It's time to eat!

All in all, a very nice three day weekend.
Hope everyone had a safe, happy, thankful and grateful weekend.
Happy Memorial Day to one and all!

Black and White

My Ohio River Heritage.
I'm 63 and so far have spent most of my life living on the banks of this old river.
She's home to me, and hopefully always will be.

The Ironton/Russell Bridge

Same bridge on a foggy morning.

Tugboat idling in the fog.

The Ironton, Oh docks.

At the foot of my yard.

Taken while mowing the yard.

Catlettsburg, Ky floodwall mural.

These were all taken behind the floodwall.

Gotta be careful where you walk!

This old river works 24/7. It never stops.
Hope it never does!

This last one has to be the best of the bunch!

A VW Bus for Jill, and some foggy river pics.

Saw this parked down on the corner on Easter Sunday.

Soon as I saw it, I thought of Jill! Had to walk down and get a closer look.

Looks like it just rolled out of the showroom! Haven't seen one that pristine in years. By the late seventies it seemed every one you saw was covered in peace signs and flowers. lol
They're still out there Jill, don't give up on those dreams!
I'm thinking it was the next morning around 7:15 when I went out to start my truck and saw this tugboat idling in the high waters of the Ohio.
Made this one my new wallpaper.

After about five minutes he powered up and slowly headed on upriver.

Karen liked this bridge shot, so I set it as her new wallpaper.

It's been a lazy weekend here, hoping it stays that way.
See yuz sometime tomorrow guys, it's beer thirty!
If you get a chance, go over and check out my buddy Randy's weekend threefur!

Dan must have really liked my last post!

Can you say glitch?
I've seen someones recs on the same post be listed in my UI 2 or 3 times before, but nothing like this.
Six recs to the same post, the comment, then one more rec.
Weirdness, Xanga.
Every time I try to rec more than once I get smacked with a little warning notice!

Or what if it's not a glitch? Maybe Dan wields more power with the Xangateam than any of us mere mortals even suspected?
Scary thought!
I'ma so hoping it's just a little glitch!

In light of all the ObamaOsama controversy on here today, I think we can all use a little chill time.
Jumping on the SaintVi and Doahsdeer bandwagon here.

First Time Since the Flood

You guys remember the flood waters I had in the back yard last month. Right?

And that I found a crew to clean it up for $125.00?

It all looked pretty good from the deck. Didn't look so good as I was mowing for the first time this spring!
Guess I can't really complain, they did clean up the debris that was in the actual yards.
And after first mow, they look pretty good.

But the creek and riverbanks are a whole different story!

Looks like they pushed or threw everything right to the edge, and stopped.

It's kinda iffy whether some of this is actually out of the yard or not, but I'll give them the benefit of a doubt.

I guess they just didn't see those two tires hiding there in plain sight.

This would be a good time for a brush fire. just sayin

Sorry about the quality of the pics. Took em with my phone.

If the water comes back up into the yard again this spring, all of that flotsam and jetsam will come right back with it!
Gonna have to start praying it only comes up to the top edge of the river bank and no higher.
And spending some time over the next couple of weekends tossing driftwood back into the river.
Couple of old sayings come to mind about now.
You get what you pay for, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. lol
