thanks for sharing about all kiddoes enjoying ice cream cones with chip cookies.....sounds like you woke early again today to see sunrise....it is getting earlier and earlier now.....days are getting longer at the night too....that is what I like....evenings....
Did A's play last night? Cards lost yesterdays afternoon game....and tonight the game in Cincinnati is rained out. They would have been on local tv tonight but now that is off the table....

I have a special young chicken thawing for the rotisserie of the Weber Kettle this weekend. I am going to find the day when I know more about the weather.....we might be having rain here thru the entire weekend but I can BBQ in the rain too. I will use that chicken in varied ways too....some will get shredded for chicken salad....
