Patsy, Bec and Jacob came over last night, as always on Thursday nights. It was their turn to cook and we had hamburgers on the grill, corn on the cob and salad. You can tell it's summer because our menu reflects it. We cook on the grill as often as possible. It was great. The hamburgers really hit the spot and Herm brought home a bottle of wine for Patsy and me. Being the snobbish wine connoisseurs that we are, we mixed it with ginger ale until it was a lovely shade of pink, and sucked the entire bottle down before the evening ended. No, we did not use straws. We're much too classy for that. Em hmm!
Jay, Jacob's buddy, came along too. They played in the back yard. Jacob was so funny. He was quite jealous of any attention that we might give to Jay. He wanted to make sure that everyone knew that we belonged to him and went to great lengths to prove this to Jay. Only two and a half years old, but already staking his territory, and quite effectively, I might add.
It was a beautiful evening until it started to rain. When the rain came down Patsy ran for an umbrella, and when she returned she and Bec just kept cooking. Of course, Patsy had consumed a few glasses of wine by this point in the evening, and couldn't really feel the raindrops anyway. I think the umbrella was just for show as far as she was concerned. Bec, however, always the model of decorum, imbibed only ginger ale.
As always, it was fun.
