Musings, part II
By definition, I am an
adult. By definition, I am NOT a
grown-up. Saturday I wake with the knowledge that we will be having a cook-out at the house. Little did I know that there would be roughly 30 people from 4 different states attending this little soiree. North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia all represented in the diverse mix that was our little party. Many people made extra effort to show up, many changing plans that they already had just to show up, drink a little beer, and say "happy birthday".
If you've never had deep fried turkey, you have no idea what you're missing. We had two 20 pound (give or take) birds that got dunked into peanut oil at about 400 degrees. With the proper seasonings, those birds are T A S T Y!
Much beer and a few cupcakes later, everyone seemed to be having a good time. Including our very own version of romper room happening in the back yard.
Just wanted to say to all that were involved, thanks for showing up. I had a great time. I felt bad for those that left and had to travel I-75 North. Apparently there was guy running around with a gun that shut down interstate travel. I know that this effected a few of our patrons. Whether that was sitting on the highway until 3 in the morning, or if your new car's onboard computer gave you alternate directions and forced you to drive to Alabama to make it back to Powder Springs.
Please don't let that be a deterent for the next shindig!
