Robbie and Rita's

Every year for the past 10 years Robbie and Rita have invited family and friends to their home on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I have made the trip several times and this is Laura's 2nd. 

The highlight, as usual, was Robbie's heartfelt toast to those who have passed defending our great land. 

Later in the evening, 3 flags were properly retired. As Al played taps, 3 of our veteran party guests stepped to the fire, unfurled their flags and placed them in the fire. Robbie narrated the ceremony and then called the current and former military in attendance to attention. 

As alway, the food was abundant and the drinks flowed. A great time was had by all.
