    Family, BBQ and Sunset

    A little dirt and watermelon juice make for a happy boy.
    A little dirt and watermelon juice make for a happy boy.

    This past Saturday afternoon I went to a BBQ at my oldest daughters home. They grilled up some elk burgers and brats. 🙂 Games were played, children and puppy dogs ran all over the place and lots of laughter was heard.

    Even a swimming pool to enjoy.
    There was not a clean child around.

    Chris and Cody supplied the meat while everyone else was asked to bring a side dish. Well that meant there were too many salads and deserts to fit on one plate so multiple trips to the table were needed. I found this young girl exploring all of the back yard, walking stick in hand.

    As the sun went down I stood along the fence in their backyard with camera in hand and watched the colors. Nature was magically making  art and I had a great front row seat.

    The Three Pigs

    BBQ Pork

    The first thing I notice when walking into this BBQ restaurant was these three pigs greeting everyone who entered the front door. I thought they deserved a photo0. On a trip and will be home late tomorrow night. I do hope everyone has a good weekend.

    Kansas City BBQ

    The Porker

    We were in Kansas City for the night and we all were thinking BBQ, so we headed to a place called the SmokeBox BBQ Cafe. If you like BBQ I highly recommend it. You can’t go wrong with any of the pork, beef, chicken or the sausage. Get the dinner plate and you’ll find fries, coleslaw, and beans piled next to the meat, up to here.

    Kansas City Beers

    I’ve had my drinking days and gratefully  no longer indulge but I still enjoy my time out with friends: I spend less money and don’t have hangovers anymore. As we talked about work, motorcycles and golf, I notice the light on the beers and had to take a shot (a photo, silly) of the beer glasses. Hope everyone has a great day!

    Chinese Lanterns

    Had dinner at a BBQ place the other night and sat outside on the patio. It was cloudy but the temperature was wonderful. I ordered the ribs and thought they were good. I loved the colors of these Chinese lanterns with the flame in the background. So as any serious photographer would do, I put my fork down, wiped the sauce off my fingers and took a few shots, then finished the ribs. By the way, I was stuffed the rest of evening.

    …will pop in to our lives and bring their smiles. I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with one of my pilots, his wife, Cindy and their son Olivier. They are good people and not because they invited me over for a BBQ the other evening. They are just good people inside. I enjoyed seeing their new home and hearing about all the things they have done to the house and what some of their plans are for the future. This is their son, Olivier, who wanted to make sure we watched as he rolled down the slope in the backyard. Can you tell he likes the new house also? Yep, good people!
