Fight Fire With Fire

Saturday night was the grand opening of uncle Derek and auntie Chris' new house. They had a big BBQ, and invited all the fam. Derek was in charge of grilling, and Grandpa had to come in for a little rescue...something about grease fire and flame ups. I got to eat outside on the deck, and even had and loved my first cucumbers! Let's not talk about the weight limit on that deck, shall we?

After supper we started a bonfire, and even had s'mores. I ran into my two new girlfriends, who I first met at the wedding. This is Sally and Emily. They are both so pretty that I got a little shy when I first saw them, but in no time we were all hanging out like old friends. There's no doubt sure I'll be at the next family function.

Grandstand play,

Country Livin'

While I was being spoiled by Brookie, Jerrid, and Miss Kato all weekend, Mom and Dad were in Winona (pronounced WY-nona by the locals) for a great wedding. It was in a small country church, with the reception at the family's dairy farm. What a blast!

When they arrived, they parked the truck in the pasture, and headed over to see these guys. Samples were flowing all night of the yummiest smoked sausage in the world. That's all great and everything but they didn't bring me any left overs! Uncle Derek was a groomsman, and got a really cool gift I have to show you. Sorry Gma E, but I had to share.

Mom and Dad had fun on their own, and Dad even got Mom out there dancing. The only thing they didn't venture out to see were the cows. I guess there was a really sneaky electric fence around them, so the next time you city folks head out to the farm....be careful!

Midas touch,
