When I was a kid, if there was no moon out, we would go chasing fireflies for fun. Half the time, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and we'd run all over the neighborhood no knowing whose properties we were running through.

When I was a kid, I always looked forward to my best friend's cookout that his family hosted on Memorial Day . They never lacked of the most delish food...and the desserts...don't even get me started on the sweet treats!
