Memorial Day Ceremony Smilebox ~ Andy Pandy ~ GloW ~ Grape Margarita

  

Good 55º cloudy morning.

Yesterday was the Memorial Day ceremony, Flag unfurling, the 21 gun salute, and the flyover at Riverside Park for Boatnik. The Whitewater Hydroplane Race started at 1pm. It is a 48 mile race in 12 mile increments and boats going 80 miles per hour! I picked up Jennifer and Mike at the Elk's and we headed to the park early (to get a good seat/view on the VIP deck, plus I had VIP parking! Thanks Bri.) Jeannie and Bill joined us. Saw a lot of people I know. Friend Karen Baertschiger was there. Her son Herman is our Republican state senator.

Brian Jen and the kids stopped by between carnival rides and eating. Nice day. GREAT weather.

salt for rimming (optional)

Place all ingredients (except salt & lime slices) in good blender or food processor and purée until blended and slushy...about 2 minutes. Run lime around rim of 2 glasses and dip in salt. Garnish with lime slice.
