Saturday 9/24/11
Since my dad only puts in an appearance every few years we gathered
the family and had lunch together at SWEET LUCY’S BBQ —
it was kind of middle ground for us. Also my dad likes these kind of
places beings he is from SC so we thought we’d make him feel at home.

(a good 30 minute drive from Ivyland)
