August 30 International Bacon Day #BaconDay the best #Holiday for my Niece Lily, my Nephew David M. and I to share because we love all things #Bacon. How about you? I wish I had a Stuffed Bacon Cheeseburger for dinner this evening.
I’ve decided my family is doing #fend for yourself. Unless I splurge and have David pick up Hamburgers for dinner this evening. Who needs Down-Home Sunday Dinner when you can have a Greasy Hamburger? Since the LORD knows our needs and we have a lot to get down before we go out of Town it might be Burgers and Fries tonight or Tacos. Which ever is cheaper and causes the less drama.
