No … not really … but it felt like it for a while. It has been a long, long time since I have felt SO stuffed for SO long after a meal.

The monthly Gray Family Feast was held today at Debbie and Coy’s house. We feasted on barbequed chicken and ribs, potato salad, cole slaw, rolls, macaroni and cheese, roasted corn, sweet potato caserole, pound cake, brownies, strawberries, and homemade ice cream. Debbie had made lemonade with freshly-squeezed lemons.

Our ice cream churn may have churned its last. The motor sounded sluggish way too soon so I pushed the container a bit. Then, Chuck babysat it while it finished. Most of the time he just sat there. We figured the churn was lonely; we do tend to leave it outside by itself.

The dozen or so of us had a grand time. Mr. Brown visited with folks for a while.

Chuck and I returned home and piddled in the yard for a little while, preparing for rain that it looks like will …. again …. go around us.

Garden Update

My tomato plants that were so gorgeous are dying. They have plenty of water but one just wilted to nothing. Ben pulled up that one and another two that were showing signs of the same problem. Now a couple others are looking droopy. The peppers are bearing and the squash is looking good I may have a small mess to cook before I leave town again.
