Picnic in the Park(ing) Lot

Well, you know about "best laid plans..." they don't always work out. Our annual Picnic in the Park became a "Picnic in the Park(ing) Lot" due to all the recent rains. At the last minute, we were able to change course and we had a large crowd at the church for our picnic.
The food was great. A BIG thanks to Daniel Abbott who smoked the meats. Thanks to the ladies who provided the side dishes and desserts.
Someone counted 150 in attendance. Hope you were able to enjoy it with us!
