Happy Memorial-Watermelon Holiday

Memorial Day has always meant watermelon to me.



This Memorial Day was a great.



A little different, what with my new special friend following me around everywhere I went.



Hank brought something new to the Holiday.



Something that requires thermostat-watching and basting- on-the-hour.



The making of MAN FOOD.
(which is very delicious and wife approved)



It makes boys (who are MEN-to-be) smile...



On this glorious Memorial Day – there was the making of music. Or rather, the attempt to make music.



And finally, what we waited for all day,



Hank's very first slow smoked ribs!
They were delish.



Did I mention there was Watermelon?



In all its drippy goodness.
