Last week, I took part in Jim Adam’s’ “Song Lyric Sunday” and I thought I would do so again. This time around, he wants writers to pick a song about grass, cows, beef, condiments, fries or fast food.

(Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback
Earlier in the week, I recapped our Memorial Day Weekend. I found a couple pictures that I wanted to share, but didn't necessarily feel that any one of them would be worthy of an entire blog.
