best friends and barbeque

A pictorial of our outrageous dining experience at a Nashville bbq joint called Jim and Nick’s:
I left out the pictures of the ribs, because well, I’m just thoughtful that way.

In our short time together, we managed a lot of talking, and even more laughing.

And even more eating.

According to my husband, bbq is serious business.

But for us gals, it’s all fun.

A rack of ribs, some cheddar biscuits and a balloon can make anyone smile.

    So glad you had the opportunity to meet with up with Lisa & family. They look like they are doing great. Oh, how I miss her blog. I could always count leaving it with a smile on my face. (& an outloud chuckle or two!)

    Hope you are enjoying your time with your family at the beach. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

    You got to see Lisa!!! So happy for y'all. That is awesome. I would have to concur with Chris….BBQ is some serious business.

    Can't wait till you land safely in your new abode.

    Big hugs!

    Look at all those cute kids… and not one of them had to spend the next half hour cleaning their teeth from those delicious ribs. One of the many perks of being mature!!

    I love how your little guy is on your hubby's lap! Our youngest can't seem to eat a meal away from home unless she is sitting on top of one of us!
