Pigs, Picnics and a Big Boiling Lobster Pot

As the summer begins to wane in Millsburg, the local fairs have packed up for another season.
The leaves are beginning to show some early fall colors.

This is the week that Big Yellow Busses take over the roads twice each day as they shuttle the school kids back and forth from home to classroom.

The End of Summer Pigs and Picnics have been Digested

Over the past couple of weeks Millsburg residents enjoyed the three roasted pigs. Each porker flanked by summer salads, beans, deviled eggs, sweet corn, chips and dips.

The whole lot washed down with cold draft beer.

Fortunately this year the swine roasts were scheduled a week or so apart. There was plenty of time in between to work up the desire for another pile of pig parts.

One of the last parties of the summer is a celebration of modern medicine combined with the birthday of a liver recipient, our friend JS. After the roasted hog has been dispatched the Lobster Pots are filled with boiling water and live Maine Lobsters. Claws flying, tails dunked in hot butter these oversized Crayfish kept coming until all interested had consumed entire families.

Today is Labor Day. It is a quiet day. ME stopped over and we enjoyed a brunch of Pepper and Eggs and Fried Baked Ziti. This should hold us over until we go to CB's annual Labor Day Picnic this afternoon.
