It’s finally Memorial Day weekend, woohoo! All year long I’ve waited for this… well, since the beginning of the year, at least. You know why? It has nothing to do with veterans… well, of course I’m thankful to our veterans. It goes without saying, though perhaps it should be conveyed more often. The freedom we enjoy in our day-to-day life as Americans is the direct result of their immense service and sacrifice.
But the truth is… I’m excited for Memorial Day weekend because it means that… can you guess? The boardwalk is finally open, you say? Yeah, that’s nice, but that’s not it. It’s finally BBQ season! That’s great, too, but honestly, we’ve been grilling for weeks by now, so that’s not it, either.
Memorial Day weekend is exciting for me because it means that school is very close to being over, that’s why. That’s the reason. As a matter of fact, there are only 13 days left in the academic calendar year 2018-2019. And then, I’ll be free… for a good stretch of time, at least a couple of months. Imagine how much blogging I can do during that time, not to mention the R&R I can have without feeling guilty… uhm, yeah… there’ll be more of the latter than the first. That’s a promise!
Anyhoo, Happy Memorial Day to you all!!
P.S. Who wants to cohost next week? Or are we okay with voting again?

You’re welcome. There are so many recipes I’ve been dying to try out and experiment on, so I’m looking forward to having more time to spend in the kitchen.
Fab round up. I love them all! Especially the Southern Fried Corn. I’m loving this time of year too! Can’t wait to get the salads on the go as well as the cheesecakes!! Thank you for hosting as always x
The Southern Fried Corn caught my attention, too! Thanks for participating in the fiesta, Jenny. If you can spare the time to cohost, please let me know. We NEED help!
Yay!! Finally, R&R – that’s super exciting! I’ve been trying to balance work, life and blogging. So many things to do, so little time. Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie. I am so excited to co-host this week!??
Not until mid June, Jhuls, but that’s not too far away. In the meantime, I try not to get too worked up about having to go to work ? Thanks for cohosting! ?
And I’m really glad to co-host with you , Jhuls!!!
And I’m really excited to have my two ace cohosts with me! ??
Aww this is just so sweet!! Thanks, Diann & Angie! ??

You’re welcome. Glad you’re here partying with us, Tamy! Everything you bring always sounds interesting and delicious.
I think this is my first time partying here. Thanks for hosting!
Welcome to Fiesta Friday, Erlene! ?
Thank you for featuring my summer rolls!! And yay to much deserved R&R!!!
Love those summer rolls, beautifully done!! Btw, can you cohost anytime soon?
Sure! When do you need cohosts?
This Friday? May 31? There’s no host for that week, you and I can cohost together. If that’s too soon, any of the following weeks is fine.
I’ll volunteer for co-hosting the second week in July. I expect June will be massively busy around the Goats and Greens homestead here. — Diann
Thanks, Diann! So, second week in July will be the 12th. Putting it down on my calendar right now. Thanks again! ?
Ooops, wrong week. I was here… (ducking).
Lol, been there done that ?
Thanks for hosting the party. Thinks have been so crazy I’ve missed quite a few! Have a great week.
It’s been pretty crazy here, too, Helen. Glad to see back at the fiesta! ?
Sorry for the delay in looking at recipes, I’ll be here tonight…. 😉
