Well...
Y'all should have been here for this dinner!
There were only four of us and I must say, we had plenty to eat.
Mr. Sweetie always cooks for an army.
He is not that crazy about leftovers unless it's steak.
(But sweetie there are only four of us, why do we need 12 pounds of beef?)
I got it!
Here is Mr. Sweetie and he is as happy as a lark.
His fun is about to begin.
Grilling makes him happy!

( He would have had his shirt tucked in, but guests were not here yet!)
Oh, he knows how to get things started~
He fires up his grill and gets the steaks seasoned.
Always perfect.

Well, all I could hear and all evening long.
"Oh Nancy, get your camera, get your camera!"

See my our resident and very old Chicken?
Oh my, okay, she does think she's a Rooster, don't ask. Long story!
Let me tell you, if there is a camera around, guess who shows up and struts right up?

Gotta be nice...she's moody as can be and so I have to humor her!

Crazy, but true!
Okay, I'm finally blogging about our dinner
