Everybody Is Grillin








We had our big cook out yesterday. it was a fun and exciting day. I made a huge amount of potato salad. Heather and Jimmy made tons of everything else. My SIL makes fantatic salsa. Heather made a Paula Dean cabbage bacon barbeque sauce thing. Yummy. The little boys made choc cupcakes. And then there was that side of beef they grilled and roasted corn. It was wonderful. Right up until 6 police cars pulled up and took over the neighborhood. Then when the coroner came we pretty much had to go outside and check out the goings on. Heather and Jimmy have a big house in the older part of town. Last year the huge old house next door was bought and turned into a private halfway house. Oh joy. Heather and I called everyplace and found out that they can legally put one anyplace they want. So there. As it turned out the guys have been not too bad. They have done alot of work on the house. Except that Heather catches them hiding and drinking beer out in the ally(she runs out and takes it when they aren't looking) now and then or has to call the cops (3 days ago) when men take a pee in full view of her kitchen window.EEWWW! Sub sandwich in one hand and pitiful little winkie in the other. Yesterday they found the assistant manager dead in his apt. Don't know what happened. Pretty sad. Life is never dull around here.

Looks like a good spread of food you had... and some extra drama on the side!
We BBQ'd today, just simple store bought stuff, nothing homemade this time. My back has been giving me some trouble so while I am getting some things done, I'm taking lots of breaks too.
Happy week!

That food sure looks yummy.

New Mexico is still pretty much wild. We never did hear what happened to that man.
