Last Friday (it is now Tuesday) Monte and I cleaned and organized and got ready for company! So exciting...seeing people for the first time in four months! I mean people, not thirty year old boys!
On Saturday around noon my brother and his wife arrived! They parked their trailer out front and we all sat out on our huge deck and visited. I love having them come visit. We always have tons to tell each other, sipping wine and beer and coffee, running from rascally wasps. A wee bit later, in time for our lunch spread, my nephew David arrived. I love having David. Again, we had tons to talk about and laugh and eat and drink. It was totally wonderful.
They stayed for the night. Stan and Antonia were outside in their trailer and David borrowed our Peter's bed downstairs. I didn't think he would mind! After a big breakfast they were on their way. It was so wonderful to have people around. It's been so long.
Because it was insanely hot outside Monte and I went swimming out at the swimming hole. I love love love sitting in my comfy nine dollar chair in the shade of a big 'ol chestnut tree by a gently moving river with a soft breeze blowing. Cannot beat it! Monte swam for a while and we visited a bit with some people that were nearby. Just a perfect afternoon. On the way home we drove thru Dairy Queen and got an ice cream cone. Mmmmmm......
This morning I had half a package of good bacon left over. I fried it all up and got the tomatoes Monte picked yesterday from our plants. So it was piled high tomato and bacon sammiches for breakfast. The tomatoes are amazing!!!!! He also picked some serious sized zucchini. I am going to have to start grating and freezing for future recipes. I kind of wish we had planted some cauliflower.
My recipe for the day....take bite sized veggies...broccoli, cauliflower, zuccini, Brussels sprouts, squash, par boiled carrots, beets...anything and put it all in a bowl. Mix mayonnaise, parmesan cheese and any herbs and spices you like and toss the veggies in it until totally coated. Put them on a bbq mat or tinfoil pan with holes poked in it and bbq on high until cooked and caramelized. Delicious!!!!!
Anywhooo...I am organizing my massive load of laundry and tomorrow I am spending the entire day doing and sorting laundry. There comes a point.....its gotta be done! Stay safe and six feet out!!! TTYL
