Summertime Picnic with Friends

Each August we are invited to the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) picnic.  This year it was held in the shady back yard of President Perry Vickers in Enterprise.  The food table was set up indoors but tables were set outside in the large carport on the back of the house.  The big shade trees provided comfort from the almost 100 degree temperature and about 99% humidity.  Plus there were several large fans circulating the air.

Three large beverage containers hit the spot while waiting for lunch to be served.  Choice of Southern Alabama sweet tea, water and lemonade.  Around 50 SAR members, spouses, friends and family were present for the enjoyable occasion.

The entre is always barbecue which they purchase from Larry's BarBQue restaurant.  The other dishes are prepared and brought to the picnic by members and spouses.  The food table was beautiful with all the picnic foods.  And you never saw such a big dessert table.  I cook Jim's favorite dessert:  Cranberry/Apple Casserole.  Others must have liked it since there was only a small serving left over.  I buy cranberries in Jan. and put them in the freezer since they are only in the grocery stores during holiday season.

Maybe I'll have some photos to publish here in a day or two.
