Pitchy,

Pretty simple food fair... but the setting in your picks were great!!!
I love this sort of think.
After a day like this (and my question only comes because I am a Floridian), did you get to sleep dry and warm? ;)
Be good Guy.
My best,

Blair, as we have a pretty dysfunctional family this was our way of having the best Christmas we could, we just had the picnic then came back to the house.
The only joy I have in my life anymore is the joy I make myself around home, nobody brings us any.

Pitchy,

You have my respect for finding "piece and joy" within your own way.
That is pretty close to perfect in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing.
My best,
Blair

A can of Peaches.
As close to Heaven on Earth as on can get. (I would guess)
Never thought of that, I'll have to try it next year. Thanks for the suggestion!
