That's About All Folks

Ray and his brother Scott

This picture was taken July 9, 2005.  Ray went to Detroit for his niece's daughter's graduation.  Any time Ray left for a reunion or something...he would never stay the night.  I would tell him not to drive those long distances in one day...but he always came right back home.  Love that smile!!

Well the kick-off to the official start of summer is just days away.  Memorial Day!  My 15th Memorial Day at the Kirby House.  After our first summer Ray said "maybe we should just do this for eight years."  Yeah right!  He left me holding the bag!  Actually, I love running this business now more than ever.  A lot of it is because I have just mellowed out so much in the last two years.  I don't let the small stuff get to me...or the big stuff either. 

On every major holiday during the summer we have always had some type of complimentary BBQ or buffet of some kind for our guests.  The last four years we had themes...Caribbean, Hawaiian, Country Western.  This year it is "Born to be Wild" motorcycle theme.  I decorate a little and it's a fun thing for guests to kind of dress up a little.  It's fun and makes for a festive and memorable Memorial Day Weekend.  I've got a skin colored "tattooed" sleeve I bought that I will wear.  It makes your arm look like it's all tattooed.  I'll have to post some pictures to my blog.  That's about all folks.  -  Jimmy
