Wow - I had an awesome time last night at a friend's house. We had planned to have dinner when we were out last Saturday. It all came together last night - we had 7 adults and 8 children (yes, we were outnumbered but we could bribe the 4-yr old!) We grilled filets, chicken thighs, asparagus, zucchini and yellow squash outside on the grill. The kids had hot dogs and made their own mini pizzas. Good friends, old and new, and lots of laughs.
Friday night I went to see "The Ugly Truth". Cute. Don't have to do much thinking. :)
Last week I went to see "My Sister's Keeper". Warning - it is a tear jerker and they changed the ending! Good movie but take lots of tissue.

Happy July 5th
Wow - it's the first Sunday morning of July and I am enjoying my second cup of coffee - Gevallia Breakfast Blend with Organic Half & Half. Life is good except that I still have one of those dull headaches that won't come on strong but it won't go away either. But enough bitching, let's get to the good stuff!
Friday night we went to Pops in the Park. Mom and Garry went along with Robin (from Jax), Rich (my neighbor) and 6 other single women with 4 children. May I say Rich is a lucky guy! Rich went out early (7:15 AM) to put out our tarp and he wasn't quite early enough! I guess with so many folks stay-cationing, you look for cheap entertainment. Anywho, Rich did get a spot that was absolutely awesome for the Fireworks Show. The weather had cooled off so it was pleasant all snuggled on the tarp and we had way tooooo much food and wine. My friend Debra brought home made sangria, Rich fixed guacamole, Colleen made brownies and I had gone to Price's Fried Chicken Coop. Life is Good! (We had 10 adults and 4 children on a 10' X 12' tarp!!!)
Last night, I went to our friend Pete's house for a nice cookout. I had gone to the farmer's market yesterday and went a little overboard. Fresh zucchini, asparagus, heirloom tomatoes and corn on the cob! Pete had two pork loins to grill, we marinated the zuchs and aspergrass in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, roasted potatoes with butter and sliced tomatoes. We ate on the deck - one of the last few evenings where you don't sweat at 9 PM!! I learned (again) how to play gin rummy.
And we had yellow cake with chocolate frosting - it was America's 233rd Birthday by the way (although she doesn't look a day over 150!)
I hope everyone had a pleasant and safe Holiday!
