Chicken Wings and Apples to Apples!

July 23 and summer has hit with a vengeance! Temperature is hitting triple digits and the humidity isn't far behind. Sure glad we went miniature golfing last weekend and not this weekend. This is when I really thank God for air conditioning! I remember the summer our AC went out and it was this hot. We all sat in front of fans and put cold wash cloths on our necks and faces to stay cool. We said everyone could go home to their nice air conditioned homes if they wanted to. But they all decided to stay and suffer with us! This year our AC is new and works GREAT!!

Todd Williams (our resident reservist), Josh Ellinor, Andrew Raffety, and John Ortiz joined us tonight. Todd suggested that we play "Apples to Apples". John Ortiz won.

We had fun and laughed a lot! Todd suggested a new twist to the game that I had never heard before. After the game is over we all went around the table and read the green cards we won as characteristics of ourselves. That made us laugh even more!

Yvonne made chicken wings (hot and spicy and mild and spicy ) and cole slaw for dinner, followed by popsicles.

 

Sunday, after church, Andrew Raffety and Josh Ellinor came over. We ate Chicken Broccoli with Bowtie Pasta for dinner with homemade French Bread and Ceasar Salad and Blueberry Pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Sorry, no pictures of the pie and ice cream. We dove in and finished it off too fast!

It was a pretty relaxing afternoon. We watched the "Signed, Sealed, and Delivered" marathon on the Hallmark channel. There's a new episode premiering tonight.

Before everyone left we prayed together for our country!
