Memorial day celebration

Hello guys and gals, hows your Memorial day weekend goes? We didn't go far this time my SS and his wife invited us to a bar-b-que party at their house which is a neighbor pwede lang lakarin bahay nila from us. But since andito tayo sa US dina-drive kahit malapit lang hehe. At around 4:00pm we headed to their house and we are the first one who got there. Hubby help his son doing some stuff at the garage while I did help preparing things at the kitchen. After all the food are done we put it all inside the oven to make it hot all the time. At the front of their house they have a pond the water is so clear it does look so inviting for swimming. I decided to went outside for a stroll with their dog, his name is Milo. He is so cute he runs like crazy specially when he noticed that I also like to play with him.
Took a picture of their house from the pond...while Milo is running towards ME!! I like their house it has four rooms, 3 bedrooms above the main floor and 1 masterbedroom on the main floor. It has a huge deck at the back (wished I took a picture of it while we are having our eating session) and a wrap around porch in front. And it is situated on a 10 acres property land. Nice no like ko talaga ang design nang house na yan.Milo likes to play right close to the pond but not me the water is cold for sure
Gandang magmuni-muni sa bench na yan naka harap sa pond. Water can make me relax and calm what about you guys?Dyandyaran!! Here's the food...
Here is my plate, I ate corn cob which is my favorite, pork baby back ribs and mashed baked potato.My bana's plate is full too hehe, he had mashed potato,italian sausage,chicken barbeque, baked beans and caesars salad
Took some of their flowers that they bought in the nursery house. This one is called petunia.
But this other one I don't know the name of it. It does look so pretty in person I am so amazed that when you look at it closely the flower that is hanging down looks like a paper flower. That is why when I look at it closer I touched it para kasi siyang papel hapon na ginawag parang flower.Specially that violet or purple color para siyang ruffled skirt at yang red balls parang chinese lantern nagandahan talaga ako. Kaya lang they are annual flowers they don't come back or grow again next year like any other perennial flowers. And every hanging basket of annual flowers cost almost $30, di ko siya ma kaya (kuripot si ako) not unless perennial yan okey lang pero annual I don't buy it. Kaya admire to the max ever nalang ako and took picture maganda kasing tingnan.So that's how our Memorial weekend goes...oh by the way I drink two glassess of white wine (yung pang-sosyal na glass) jeez na drunk ata ang beauty ko. I told hubby..hon I think I am drunk. Hubby said how many did you drink? I said two. Hubby said oh your drunk. LOL!!

Parang ang sarap tumira sa mansion na iyan... kaya lang parang ang hirap din linisin. Ang ganda nga talaga nung violet flower, mukhang mamahalin talaga kaya okay lang din na magbayad ng 30$ kung ganyan naman kaganda :)
