ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Mandy, enjoy!
DeleteHmmm...I need to get some Honey Thyme Syrup...that sounds really tasty! As usual, we will BBQ and most likely do it with my parents on Sunday. It's kinda gloomy today and the forecast isn't as nice I would like it to be...
ReplyDeleteIt is starting to look gloomy outside here in Atlanta too. Good thing is that I'm spending the majority if my Memorial Day indoors relaxing.
DeleteI will be celebrating spending the day with my family. I'm so grateful to enjoy them on a long weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I'm doing as well Elayna!
DeleteMmmm...mojito! Will give that a try!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it!
DeleteWe have a graduation party to go to tomorrow, but my husband has had to work other than that. I've just been enjoying the nice weather with my kids.
ReplyDeleteHave lots of fun Farrah!
DeleteHave fun celebrating Memorial Day Louida and those list are great too. We don't have Memorial Day here or maybe there is but I just don't know what is the equivalent here but when there are Holidays like that people usually take a rest here because it is the only day they can relax from work.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'm spending the holiday relaxing at home with my family.
DeleteThese cocktails look amazing. I'd love to try them!
