Hi Chris and Holly So glad that you all had a great time baking and grilling. I can't wait to grill on Sunday and Monday. We have 1/4 lb hotdogs that we got at one of our local grocery stores. They are so good and we will be adding hamburgers to the grill as well. That will be Monday. Sunday we are grilling chicken and I can't wait. I love chicken done on the grill. I love picnic foods.

It is so much fun to see the boys enjoying the baking Friday adventures. You can tell they are having a blast and don't even realize they are learning how to bake!! It is so great that you are taking the time to teach them something they will take with them into adult hood. The goodies that you made all look so good. That one hotdog looks like someone took a bite out of it!!!

Raining here today and really cold. I actually put the furnace on this afternoon. It was so damp in the house. We are supposed to get up to an inch of rain today and into tomorrow morning. The high today is only 62 degrees and tomorrow it is only supposed to be in the mid 50's.

You and Holly have a great evening. The Pirate game is cancelled because of the rain so I don't know what John and I will watch this evening.

Hugs to you both
John and Debbie

So much fun! We’re going to have sloppy joes since it’s raining here. I got a watermelon that looks ripe and ready:). I’m glad that nature got a drink.! Everything was SO thirsty. I have a robins nest just outside my front door. The babies are getting fat with feathers:). I’ve been filling my bird bath with fresh, cool water for the momma bird:). Now she can find food a little easier since the rain:) I hope you and Holly and family have a great weekend!
