A Beautiful Day with a Great Dinner
















Well Thursday morning started out with a little of the same overcast we had the past 2 days. But by mid morning the skies cleared and with a light breeze the day turned out to be one of the very best. No humidity and the temps got to the middle 70's. It was an absolutely beautiful day. After my quiet time and fruit for breakfast I headed to the REC. to play pickle ball. There were 5 of us and we had a great 2 hours of continuous play and I ended with a wet shirt.

After the REC. I helped Nancy get ready for our family dinner. I got the smoker ready for the ribs and got them on around 11:30. After lunch I managed a little garden work before taking Ava and Phoneix on a long wagon ride.Amy and Ava left around 3 PM so Ava would get her nap in before Annsley came to play.

I took the ribs off of the smoker around 5 PM then cut them up and then cleaned my smoker. Wow did they look pretty and we smoked 2 full racks. Every body started arriving around 6 PM so we let the girls play for about 1/2 hour before setting down to smoked ribs, parsley potato's, salad and brocolli. YUMMM what a feast and I believe we will eat leftovers tomorrow night for dinner. Nancy also made a pumpkin pie for dessert.

Ava and Annsley played very good together and now Ava call's Annsley, A's. How cute is that??? We all sat around and a few of us danced with girls to the Nutcracker. Wow that warmed several bodies up to the near boiling point; but the girls loved it and continued asking for more. The girl bathed together and then got their pajamas on. Every one left around 9 PM. It was a great day that was made even better when your children and grand children were there to enjoy it with you. Later.
