One of many things we always plan to do, but rarely manage to get around to doing, we had Camille and Jon and Bunky (Charlie's Mom and Dad and Grandma) over for dinner last night.
I stuffed mushrooms, and we marinated chicken and the trout from the last trip, Charlie smoked them all on the grill, along with a nice salad. We topped it off with french silk pie and ice cream! Jon has surgery this morning, so we figured we would do it up right before he had to fast for surgery, and in case he has to stay in the hospital because he dislikes the salt free diet!
Bringing the night to a close, the recent rains afforded us the wet climate to set off a few fire works in the open area on the East side of the property.
The camera makes these look much larger than they really were, but the were pretty and fun!
If you look closely at the bottom of this photo, about a third of the way in from the right, Shadow was barking! She did not like those fireworks, but stayed close to us just as she was supposed to. Vegas laid by Jon and watched the pretty lights.
When everyone said goodnight, Charlie and the kids pulled out the big couch and played high-tech redneck- Wyatt playing music and reading on his kindle, Bailey working on her math class on her new laptop, and Charlie watching TV with them. What I did? well that seems the matter for another post, coming in a minute.
It was a great evening as a family, we definitely need to do that more often!
