Ive had an itch for some ribs for several weeks. And since I’m having to cancel the J.W. Birthday, too many irons in the fire around the plantation. It will be just a couple of friends and a sort of potluck. I will do ribs, smoked polish wrapped with bacon (Thanks Timothy!) brisket dip (Costco), beans, maybe some Mac and cheese? No, I’m not planning on a lot! Well, may cut the Mac and cheese in lieu of some shotgun shells (I can make those early). Or, I might just do the Polish, ribs and, beans. I’m always biting off more than I can chew! But, we are ahead on planting around the house, painting the patio table, staining the deck!
Graves must be tended but, we have a little time yet. Wife’s back has become a limiting factor in this and she and I have been the only family to tend her family’s graves for the last 30 years. My family is spread too far and wide for me to plant anything. One more reason I don’t want to be in a stone orchard, throw me around the cottage or bluegrass festivals. Sorry that got WAYYYYY off track!
