Memorial Day Weekend!

We had our first BBQ this Saturday! I think we had more kids then adult, we were taken over. The wife went and bought a charcoal grill. I have to say that the gas grills are much better then those. We ended up cooking 2 of the steaks on the gas grill and 2 on the charcoal as the charcoal seemed to lose it's flame.
Maybe we just need BBQ lessons!!

The kicker so far has been that Sunday morning, the wife is out and I pulled my back out. I spent all Sunday laid up in bed. Luckily, I was able to see a Chiropractor in the hood who was great enough to let me come to his home and he even invited me to his BBQ.. Thanks John!!

Today we are off to the beach club, where most likely I will just be sitting on a lounge chair as my back is still killing me.

The Front Garden!!

Well the front garden is getting into shape, the Japanese Maple is in full bloom, the flowers are planted and everything is growing nicely.

Bright and early the husband sanding the porch and getting ready to put the first coat of finish.

This is the Husband first real big home improvement job. We have been very spoiled with six pack AKA Gordon doing most of the work in the house. The Husband is taking on the task of sanding our front porch.
First thing Saturday, he will be up and sanding a way!!!
