Cookout

Stephen came down Wednesday so we could have our family cookout that we didn’t have on the 4^th. Stephen was off work on the 4^th but woke up with a really stuffy nose and felt pretty poorly. He works long hours so we told him to just take it easy and rest. We were plenty busy with the campground anyway and he would come up on his next day off and we could grill out then.

Not only did he drive down to the campground but he brought my special little “grand fur baby” Josh with him. It is always a treat to have Stephen come visit and an extra treat when Josh gets to come. Josh doesn’t travel well so Stephen doesn’t like to bring him very often.

He arrived around 12:20 and we began to assemble the makings of a cookout. We grilled hamburgers and along with that we had Grillin Beans, chips and pistachio salad. For dessert we thought strawberry shortcake sounded cool and sweet. We did decide to eat inside today since the temps were heading toward 97 degrees today. A little hot to be comfortable outside.                                     

Our little Nick really enjoyed seeing his brother, Josh. Nick and Josh share the same mother and father but at different times. They pretty much grew up together and enjoy being together. Josh is the oldest and you can certainly see the “alpha dog” syndrome with those two. Cody just sits back and lets them have their space. We don’t have grandchildren yet but we sure do enjoy our “grand” dogs.

Mike got a call from Radio Shack that our weather radio that we ordered had come in. We will try to pick it up this afternoon or tomorrow. We finally decided on a Midland 300 and I will let Mike tell you all about it later.

We ended our time together by watching the World Cup and taking a few catnaps. Maybe I should call that a “dognap” since all our dogs were all pretty much laid out in their various places. We all had a great time.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing our journey. Life is Good!!
