Well Saturday was another great day with fine weather. The cool nights and warm days with no humidity is such a plus. I did some work on the kitchen and in the garden and then we headed up to the Botbyl's to sit outside in the evening around the gas fire pit and had snacks and some vino before eating a delicious meal.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out. The grand kiddos Sam and Eliza spent the night and she was having some issue with a slight fever and was a bit uncomfortable. She awakened a couple of times during the night but eventually slept in until 7. Nancy fixed cakes and eggs for breakfast but she wasn't interested as she just wanted juice. She eventually perked up when her mom and dad came which made us think she was somewhat homesick. They left somewhere 9'ish and then I headed out to work in the gardens. I gave away several heads of lettuce and kale as they are starting to mature. I eventually pulled my first carrots for the year so Nancy could put in a Cole slaw she was making for supper. The cabbage and green pepper all came from the garden and had such a delicious flavor.
I did some more painting under the cabinets as well as started changing out more electrical outlets to the white ones. I did run into a problem with the double switch outlet that didn't work the separate lights as did the old switch. I will have to consult my electrician or one at Home Depot, oh well. Nancy was off shopping for accents and new towels that match the new look as well as ammonia free Windex to clean the granite countertops. We are learning what to do and how to care for this new stone beauty.
Dan Botbyl had 4 racks of baby backs smoking for most of the afternoon and Kathryn had her so delicious mac and cheese and Nancy made an awesome Cole slaw and guacamole, yeow what a feast. We were so satiated we didn't play any games after the cleanup as the girls ventured down to our house and checked out the new granite addition and my work while we guys settled into some of the super bowl publicity. Eventually they came back and we settled into an old movie titled Dirty Harry. It was rather hokey after all these year but Eastwood did have a head of hair. We left for home somewhere in the middle as I could barely keep my eyes open. It wasn't long after a hot shower and a quick check on the news about the snowflakes still having a hard time digesting that Trump was our president that I turned the lights out, LATER
