Third day feast of a meal

Cole and Julia made an incredible meal for us:  BBQd ribs, grilled sausages, homemade cole (haha) slaw, golden beets, roasted cauliflower, jalapeño poppers. This wasn't our only great meal; every breakfast, lunch, snack, and supper was just delicious.  We only ate out once.  

After supper was always music time with lots of singing and conversation.
