Sunset, I'm actually not doing any cooking this weekend. I told my wife I would do some stuff tomorrow but she said she didn't want to mess with feeding everyone and cleaning up afterwards so we're just having dessert for everyone.
That's nice of you to do that skrymr. I was in the army from 89-92. I went to Saudi Arabia on an advance party when the gulf war stuff first started. I ended up being there for about 9 months. Don't care to ever go back. Thank the soldiers for us. Tell them we appreciate everything they do.
I will Scott, and thank you for you're service. As far as I'm concerned you can't hear that enough.
I've been doing this for about 10 years now. I make sure I always have vacation the week of the 4th so I can prepare for it.
Sherry spent the last couple days baking cookie's this year that we will give away for any donation to the Memorial fund to help pay off the memorial my Dad got built. Lat year we tried selling cup cakes, but no one wanted any until we gave them away for a donation. Kind of funny, we made more by "giving" them away than we would have selling them.
here is a link to the Memorial. My Dad's name is on it, my Grandpa's, and this year my Dad and I paid to put Sherry's son's name on it.
