Well, it has been an unbelievable month for me. Despite all the internet rumors that I was killed in a horrible grilling accident or abducted by aliens or captured by Sasquatch, I am alive and well and have been extremely busy with family additions.
On Memorial Day, my third grandchild was born. That is him with me in the picture. He is awesome and will fit right in with my other two. My band of mischief makers is growing and I am looking forward to many fun adventures with them all.
I spent Memorial Day traveling from Washington to Idaho and waiting for the news about Little D. I traveled back to Washington from Idaho the next weekend to see my new Grandson. I enjoyed the short time I got to spend with him and he and I hit it off right away. I think he and Grandpa will have lots of fun together as he grows. I know I am looking forward to that.
While I was in Washington, the weather was much better than it was over Memorial Day. Memorial Day weekend it rained the whole time. As the weather was good I was able to grill some steaks on the gas grill.
I have not been doing a lot of grilling lately and that is bothering me. I really like grilling food and have recently gotten a new smoker grill that I will be using a lot soon and will be posting some of my experiments with the new grill.
Last weekend was my Birthday. I had plans to spend a quiet relaxing weekend at home with my wife. I wanted to have a cake and for the two of us to spend the afternoon making a celebration dinner together. We always enjoy spending the time working together in the kitchen making a good meal. That plan was tossed out the window when my Daughter called and asked if we could watch our other two Grand children for the weekend. We had not seen David and Millie for a while so we said yes.
It is always fun to have the grandkids around, but it has been a long time since we had to keep up with a 21-month and five-month-old. They are so much fun, and Millie is a Grandpa’s girl who loves to talk and play and sing with Grandpa, but they do wear me out. Instead of making a nice dinner for two, we ended up making hot dogs, chicken nuggets and baby food; not quite the intimate dinner for two I had pictured, but so worth it.
At least I did get to have some cake and ice cream to celebrate.
All in all the last month has been crazy mad, but it has been a lot of fun.

Dern, I though Jeff was a sasquatch! I know how you feel about those babies, I just spent the week with my family in Destin, FL and I got to spoil Anna and Noah the whole time and they spoiled me too! Great pic Jeff!
