Memorial Day Weekend Barbeques

In two weeks we will celebrate the official beginning of summer - Memorial Day Weekend. Memorial Day originated as a way to honor the American soldiers who lost their lives fighting the Civil War by decorating their graves. The holiday is now celebrated on the last Monday of May with parades and memorial services. This marks the kick-off to the summer barbeque/party season. Many Americans celebrate Memorial Day by firing up a grill and having a cookout. So send out the invitations, stock up on red, white and blue plates and napkins, drape the banners, blow up the balloons, hang the flag and welcome your family and friends!
One of the hallmarks of a good party is to treat your family like company and your company like family. I wish you all a very happy summer season of parties and celebrations with your family and friends!!
