A Good Night All Around

Yesterday was hot and humid. The rest of the week was beautiful, but not humid. Hadn't planned on humidity when I planned chili and campfire night. 

We handled it just the same.  Neighborhoodlum Gerry (aka poppy) brought granddaughter Hillary (aka HillyBeans) over for a swim. She's a fish in water just like me.

The rest of us dove into some chili. Well, at least Tom and Joan and Jay and Lauren did. Gar and I weren't far behind. But Gerry and Sandee had Hillybeans so they were doing Grandparent duty.

Lucan kept guard and tried not to doze off.

Before the campfire, fire ball in the sky.

Kept getting bigger. And lower.

Off to Tom and Joan's for a BBQ shortly. I made stuffed shrooms and Gar is fixin' some tater salad.

Another good day in the making with the neighbors. Have a I told you we have the very best neighbors anyone could ask for? We do.

First, I must dive in the pool. Another hot and humid day! How about you? Getting together with anyone? Cooking out? Chilling with the Sunday paper? What are your plans this September Sunday?

Hope you have a great Sunday in your corner of the world.

Saturday In Stratham

Chili & Campfire Night

The sun is currently trying to make a show. Funny, the sun woke me up first thing this morning, and had I been 'awake' I would have gotten a shot. The sky was blazing pink.  By the time I really woke up, clouds had moved in. I don't remember them suggesting that would be the case on the weather forecast this week. Luckily, the sun hasn't given up.  I was hoping for some Saturday pool time today. Not that I need the sun. I get in regardless. But I digress.

Since the weather forecast was for a decent day, we made plans to have a Chili & Campfire night.  We did a dry run campfire last night. Not really. We just had a campfire, it wasn't a dry run. It was however, a perfect night out. Hoping for the same tonight.

Got all the fixin's.

Haven't decided to use the beef or turkey.  Oh, and I forgot to buy the peppers, of all things. Missing one of the main ingredients. Too funny. Luckily, neighbor Joanie is going this morning and offered to pick some up for me.  Of course, there will be onion too.

We'll be good to go. I might make some corn muffins for the side. Joanie is making a dessert. Even if the sun doesn't come out, it's a nice temperature so it is sure to be a good night out at the campfire.

Before I start the chili, I'm going to spend some time in my little corner of the world.....my office.  May work on a new illustration. Then, the chili. 

Got any big plans for your Saturday? How are you spending it?
