Pictures from the Cleveland barbecue!
Beautiful day yesterday! not a cloud in the sky. and though it was a little chilly, we made a fire which kept us warm in the sun.

Here's Cathyclysmic, The Prophetess and myself sitting down to some cheddar brats...


Believe it or not, XemaSab flew in from California for the picnic!


My personal hero, President Jimmy Carter came by. We were honored.


Keith Olbermann stopped by. He wanted to do a segment on us, but I think his producers won't let him.


Lo and behold, Leonid Brezhnev came too! He looks good for being dead since 1982!


Y'all missed out!

She's able to stay up walking, working, moving around, etc. for almost all day-a big change from just a couple weeks ago!

9. Wonderful!
Great pics - thanks for sharing!

I love seeing DU meetup photos.

And yes, Brezhnev is looking remarkably dapper for a guy 24 years dead.

23. It was a great time!
I really needed to get out of the house and do something fun. Cathy is great fun and I enjoyed her company, as always. (Looking forward to Friday, by the way!!). EP can cook up some good grub and we ate well. Good times! :toast:

I just replied to you, and got a "this page can't be displayed" message.

Anyway, as I was saying, I'm glad you are feeling better. You sure look fabulous in those pictures. :toast: :hug:

26. It's not a real barbecue unless General Secretary Brezhnev shows up!
Woo-hoo!

It looks like you guys had a great time...I bet you would have had a terrific time even without those special guests. :-)

29. Great pic(s)!
Looks like you all had fun. Except for Brezhnev, though. But I saw his funeral and can quite understand it. (While lowering his coffin, one of the guys let the rope slip, so his coffin crashed onto the ground. The overall ceremony skipped then a few items, and earth was shoveled into the grave pretty quickly.)

31. Brezhnev is a tough one to please
I got him to loosen up eventually though, and we were doing shots and singing 'The Little Snowball Bush' for the rest of the day.

51. we had some great Thai food at a new place that opened
and then we went out for blackberry pie at 11:30 at night, something we don't usually get to do. :)

And we had Middle Eastern for lunch. It was kind of a mini-one day vacation!

so glad you are feeling better.
