God Bless America!

You should read this post in an Earl Pitt's voice - for that is the attitude in which it is written.

America - the greatest country I know. Joseph Hardie, one of the greatest Americans I know. When you put the two together you have one heck of a celebration!
Joe's birthday dinner. Our friends Deb and Nate came out to help us celebrate! We loved having visitors in Houston.

Joe and Nate are best friends. They were pretty excited to try the crab my step-dad boiled for the 4th of July.
Here is the feast - cajun style crab cook-off.
Joe and Nate were a little shocked by the intense flavors. Everything was so spicy it made your fingers burn to touch it. No joke.
And of course I was a little shocked by the condition of Joe's breath after consuming said crab.
