Beautiful Weekend
We in central North Carolina have been suffering from an extreme heat wave. It’s been pretty bad, especially since Sarah’s and my air conditioner stopped working last Saturday (the 8th) and was not working again until last Friday (the 14th). It was actually kind of nice to fully feel the summer, even if it meant sleeping in a wind tunnel, because that means that we really appreciate this weekend. On Friday we had rain, lots of rain, thanks to the remnants of Humberto and the heat (at least for now) has broken.
Saturday was absolutely gorgeous. Hot, but not stifling, with a nice and steady breeze moving through. We opened up the entire house and it was just wonderful. A perfect day for the grilling out party Lewis and I had planned. It was Parent’s Day at NCSSM so Sarah had to work. While she was gone I cleaned and straightened the downstairs of our townhouse, which had rather needed some attention, and prepared the burgers and started the chili, a long simmer is the key to delicious chili (that, and the secret ingredient).
The grill out was great. Fun company, delicious food, Halo 3 movies (only ten more days!).
Now it’s a nice Sunday morning, even cooler than yesterday. The breeze is still drifting through and temperatures are in the low 60s. A perfect day for drinking coffee under a blanket, ahh.
