I read a couple books on my Kindle at night and reacquainted myself with the radio.<br /><br />I cooked out almost every evening and shared with several of my elderly neighbors. After I made hobo meals (ground beef patty with sliced onions and potatoes wrapped in heavy duty foil and baked in the hot coals), they thought I was just the cleverest thing. This was something I remembered from my son's Boy Scout days. These ladies said we really should cook out more this summer because it's fun to linger over dinner at the picnic table under the shade tree. And I still have a bag and a half of charcoal, so why not?Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-89231726823575580052011-05-05T15:59:16.219-05:002011-05-05T15:59:16.219-05:00Blessings all.

I have been blessed that not one family member had anything other than property damage. My mother and stepfather commented that the day after the storm, neighbors that they had never met arrived on their doorstep to aid in getting the trees off of the house that had fallen during the storm. Now, my parents dont live in the safest neighborhood, but have been blessed with a bounty of good samaritans.Sheryl Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169358353566550511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-31748734725593190622011-05-05T12:56:38.566-05:002011-05-05T12:56:38.566-05:00We played a lot of board games, which we all love,...We played a lot of board games, which we all love, but rarely have time to do these days.
