November 1, 1978

November 1, 1978 was a warm fall day. The leaves had fallen where we lived out in Vermilion. The weather begged us to be outside and we agreed. A hot dog roast was definitely in order for the day! 28 years ago all we were interested in was the beautiful sunny day and the roasted hot dogs. Little did we know we were starting a family tradition: )

The next year, we had moved and had our first child. On November 1st we reminisced about how beautiful the day was the year before and decided to have a wienie roast in remembrance. Now, every year we have a cookout on November 1st and some of them have been mighty cold!!! I wonder if this is a tradition our sons will carry on : )
