Weekend update

We had a great weekend! On Friday afternoon, we went and picked up the chickens from Butcher's Block. We scurried around getting picnic fare and readying things.

Saturday we started the day with blueberry pancakes before our workout at Cardinal Fitness. Then we did some touchup cleaning and got the food all ready. Michael did his chicken on the grill, using brother in-law Steve's time-tested and delicious recipe. We did corn on the cob on the grill. And I made veggies which were most yummy too! I did red bell peppers, summer squash, and zucchini with a clove of garlic and 2T of olive oil. All in the microwave and so beautiful and festive!

We also had a green salad that Peggy brought, Ann's wonderful brownies, and Carla brought a strawberry rhubarb pie, one of Michael's favorite things.

And then we were all set to go over to the Picnic with the Pops, when Bob suggested that we just eat at our house! I did not have to be asked twice. It was hot out and I would almost always rather eat in than share with bugs. So after our feast, we headed over to the Pops concert. That is always a really good time, with lots of happy kids running around with glowy things adorning themselves and music and good friends.

Then we got home and did the dishes, so that we would have a nice gleaming kitchen in the morning.

And we did! After breakfast and our trip to the gym, we came home and crashed with good stuff on TV (Twilight Zone marathon) and slept most of the afternoon!
