Sunday

my kinda day~

Despite a rainy start to the day ~ we had a cookout yesterday.  Brats and hamburgers on the grill, tuna salad, fresh veggies marinated in italian dressing, cheddar chip and sour cream and onion chips, chocolate cake, blueberry pudding cake and banana walnut cake!

Do you think they cut enough wood for the night??
After cooking up on the deck and eating in the house, the rain finally let up and we were able to start the fire in the firepit in the backyard and enjoy the rest of the afternoon and evening outside.


The guys pulled out the golf ball toss game ... the BIG homemade version
The kids couldn't wait until dark to start in on the s'mores.  Where they had room to eat some more was beyond me.

Even Grandpa Slim had one with his beer ... oh yum... what a flavor combination ~

Yes...
It was a nice way to spend some time ~ sitting around the fire pit ...sharing stories and making memories.  My kinda day:)

Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

    We had rain here today --but we needed some, so I guess that is a good thing.
