A great weekend!

It's been an interesting weekend. It's been hot & humid with rain showers daily. On Friday Steve my neighbor from Ukraine stopped by to see if i wanted to cook out on Saturday. I told him sure. He thought another couple that is across the street would be back from visiting family.

The other couple hadn't returned so it was just the us. Saturday afternoon Steve started bringing over stuff and he just kept bringing. He brought beef & pork ribs, t-bone steaks, bushes baked beans, corn on cob, stuff to make a salad, tortito's (he doesn't eat bread) strawberries, cake & whip cream. Oh yeah and a watermelon! All i had to do was furnish the potato salad.


What Steve failed to tell me was I was to cook it all! He did furnish the grill. He has a road trip Coleman grill and it's great. He purchased it 2 years ago and had never used it!! Gabe brought it to our camper and Gabe got the grills going. We put the corn on our brand new wal-mart girll ... 20 bucks ... hehe Hey the last one lasted me over a year and we used it all the time. Yes, i'm cheap. I put the salad together, put the beans in the crock pot and let them cook.

Since its was just us we decided to cook the steaks Sunday. We had tons of food as it was. The ribs were wonderful, Gabe is a excellent griller. mmmm Thanks Gabe & Steve!! It was a great meal and afterwards we sat around and visited and listened more about his life. We could listen to Steve for hours and never tire. During our cook out we got a nice shower, but we all just sat under our awning and watched it rain. Although the rain was well received as it cooled off the temps. Before that we were all sweating bullets. ( Sorry no pic's on Sat, i forgot)



On Sunday afternoon Gabe grilled steaks and we put baked tators and left over corn on our grill and we cooked out again. We had left overs as well. Once again Gabe out done himself, the T-bone was the best i've had and heck i used to be a grill cook myself. Hmmm i think he did learn something from his mother ... hehe

I gave Steve a tour of my home and he was surprised the room I have inside. He said it doesn't look that big on the outside and he was amazed with the storage i have. He said i had a house in here ... LOL Of course I agreed with him.

We got a nice rain shower again and it cooled things down nicely. It was a perfect evening for a cook out and visiting. Around 7 pm Steve headed home and we retired inside.




The dogs were even enjoying the cook out and the cooler temps. I can handle hot days, when the nights cool down. It seems we get rain almost daily, but it doesn't last long and it seems to bring in the cooler temps for the evening. Around 9.30 after the second rain came through, it had a bit more wind to it. I ran to Wal-mart to exchange the watch i bought. I had taken it back once and they replaced the battery and it stopped working again, so this time i got a different type.


That was my weekend of having too much fun ... hope you all had a great weekend ....
