    Same to you. We also have 3 cemeteries. All spread out, but we get there. I think we’re the last generation in my family to carry out this tradition. Maybe some hope for my daughter, however.

    Because people are so mobile, not many live in the same place they grew up. But I’m 5th generation SW Idaho, so we can still take care of the markets. By now, I can almost find them blindfolded.

    If you do, drop by Acme Oyster House or Drago’s (in Metarie). Both owned by cousins of mine. I haven’t talked to any of them about their closures or re-openings

    These things are delicious!

    Yes, we are the last of our family to do this as well. My nephew goes with us and say's he is committed to keep this going after we're gone, BLESS HIS HEART!

    Free Buffet is hard to pass up. I recommend being among the first if you go.

    Nothing special planned here except for grilling steaks on Memorial Day. I've been working on building a kayak trailer this month (in the painting and wiring stage now) plus cleaning out my building organizing and reassessing stuff collected over 20 years.

    My ex called me today and invited me to her Back Yard Wing-Ding Sunday. 3 of my adult Grand children will be there along with my son.

    She told me if I didn't come they were just going to all gossip about me! LOL! And bring my Mom!

    So, I better get my ass over there!

    Yeah. I'm 'de-cluttering' my house too.

    Garage sales are very popular in Depressions.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Going to the GF's sister's for her family gathering Sun. Staying home and grilling a few steaks on the grill Mon. Maybe take my car for a ride if it's nice.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    A clean garage is getting old? I can now comfortably walk around my car and I didn't throw anything out. That ain't gettin old!

    3 friends and I went for a road trip with our cars Thurs. morning/early afternoon, just for something to do.
