T is for A Labor Day Cookout

Happy Tuesday ladies (and gentleman). Another T for Tuesday has arrived.

Tuesday is a good day to share your drink (and also food or adventure if you have some) stories with the T Gang over at  Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog . 

So the first weekend in September is the Labor Day  holiday weekend in the US. Although not the astronomical end of summer, it is the end of the summer season.

So in the summer we keep our boat in the field of a local marina. It allows us to just pop the boat in the water when we want to go out for a ride and not have to tow it back and forth from home. (And leaving it in the field is substantially cheaper than renting dock space and leaving it in the water. It's also cheaper than the extra gas we would need to put in the truck to move it every time.)

Every year over Labor Day weekend the marina has a cookout for their members. They provide the food and some live music and it's a nice evening to sit and watch the sunset.

This year they had barbecued chicken, salad, coleslaw, potato salad, bread and some sweet treats.

 For drinks, they have water, soda, wine and beer.  I had a delicious cup of Allagash White Ale, though you can't see much more than the foam on the top of my red plastic party cup.

 The company was great though, my daughter

 and my goofy husband . Although the dogs went out in the boat with us that day, they didn't get a cookout invite and had to wait in the car.

 And the view was awful pretty too.

My thoughts are with all those folks in Florida and the Caribbean  who took damage from Hurricane Irma. And my thoughts are with you who are now dealing with the tropical storm. Hope you stay dry.
Happy T day.
Thanks for visiting!
