Had a love-filled afternoon cooking with my Mom and then sharing this wonderful meal that we were all so grateful to enjoy.  Present were my Mom and Dad, Jim (my man), Jen (my sis), Johnny (her husband), August (my bro), Sandra (his wife), AJ (my nephew). We celebrated being together and the spirit of the day. Thank you all for such a wonderful day.
