Went over to my sister Deb's house this evening. It was the end of summer get together. The whole family was there except my brother Tom.
Deb had a canopy setup next to the trailer in the backyard. Danny, Deb's husband, was cooking burgers and BBQ chicken legs on the propane grill. Mom brought some
pumpkin bread.
Everyone was there to see my brother Kevin, the artiste who lives in Hawaii, before he leaves to go back to his home in Hawaii.
After eating our BBQ dinner the sun had set and it was getting cool so Deb started a fire in an empty old metal barrel that was sliced in half. The half barrel fire provided warmth with the flames dancing in the darkness.
After everyone was finished roasting marshmallows over the open fire my cousin Donna's husband, Don, decided to read some scary stories. Don, turned out to be a great reader, he was easy to hear and he read without stumbling over the words. His choice of stories was good but the stories he chose weren't all that scary but it was fun listening to him read. Everyone else liked his reading too and gave him a big round of applause when he was finished.
I even got to use one of my favorite words while talking to my brother Tim, digeree do. Not only do I like the word I love the way digeree do's sound.
It's funny, I was distracted this morning before I had a chance write about the dream I had last night. What I realize now is that the dream was about the cookout.
