Summer's Here
Nope - no denying it. Summer has finally arrived in Seattle! Wahoo!! We held the first BBQ of the summer yesterday. SistaJ, SistaD, SistaE and Cuz'nL all in attendance - it was freakin' HOT! Literally, the temperatures. So hot, it was an indoor gathering. I laugh... we complain all year how miserable the rain is, how we can't "do" anything outdoors because of the rain, so what happens when the sun finally shows? We complain it's too hot to go out... sheesh...
I am guilty as charged!
Not sure what the forecast is for today. I have never been successful at finding a local weather report on HBO. I can tell you though, it is going to be another beautiful day. It is 8am, I have all the north-facing windows wide open and all the fans on hoping to capture a little cool air before I close the house up tight and try to keep from melting. My poor husband is working hard on the bathroom remodel - all the plumbing is complete (thank you Cuz'nL...) so now it is time to get the sheetrock and cement board up and then bring on the tile...
A little word of advice: Do it yourself projects are very nice. Don't be fooled into thinking you don't need some professional help. Plumbing is not something you can learn in a weekend from a book! Sure glad we have a plumber in the family to rescue us from disaster...
Keep cool - in every way possible! xoxo MeMeadow

I am always cool...too cool, sometimes...
Anyway, thanks again for the great time! I will admit, though, going underground was a very nice break from that heat. Even though the line to the bathroom was long, it was a good excuse to just sit in the coolness without having to complain about the heat. And I am NOT complaining, believe me. We are NOT allowed. And if anyone around me does, I will slap the crap out of them and send them to AZ...
Those rib eyes were something else...
So was the potato salad. My Gawd I had forgotten how awesome that family recipe is!
Thank you SO much for the food and fun. Are you going to Cuz'n L's Barbeque? Ribs, remember...
And BTW...the other L was very pleasant and fun to talk to. I am happy you asked me to run interference; it was a GREAT experience. Am I weird? Or stupid...?
