We bought halibut at A's (famous name market chain) and spent a fortune for enough to feed two. The next day Randy showed me how to get to the fresh fish market here... a mom and pop with counter service and anything seafood you can imagine. I thought geeze this will be spendy! Nope, it was so much less expensive that we fed 6 adults for less than the cost of 2 at A's! You sure have to be careful.<br /><br />It sounds like you managed to make the celebration stretch.<br /><br />Not insulted about the bird photo. I laughed. Secret agent woman has the knack on bird shots.<br />Like I said, I got far more photos of blank sky. Any good pics I get are by pure accident and taking so many that one has to be okay at some point.

Don't get mad. I have tons of them myself. Those darned birds!<br /><br />That outdoor kitchen and surrounding yard are sounding better and better with each post. It is going to be a nice space. Careful, though, because you will get a lot of volunteer guests every weekend. <br /><br />Since you asked about our weekend, Mr. Cube insisted on having the family over for his increasingly famous brisket and rib BBQ on Sunday. I'm much more fiscally conservative than he is and argued that it is an expense we shouldn't incur during these economically tumultuous times, but he made a case for a combination younger daughter, Father's Day and oldest daughter birthday combo, and eventually won me over. Men!<br /><br />We each got to hold both of the new babies in the family. Sooooo cute. It's hard to believe our girls were once that small. It turned out to be a great time for all.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-10839760171794197112010-06-28T08:34:06.964-07:002010-06-28T08:34:06.964-07:00Cricket-- Ha!

At least they aren't a giant purple dinosaur.<br /><br />I have a wonderful pic of you in my head... drinking a frosty ale in the sprinkler. ;-)<br /><br />My weed eater didn't crap out, but I did. So the street weeds got a temporary stay. It was just too darned hot. <br /><br />I hope the thunder brings relief and cool breezes follow!Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-62984641612167141992010-06-28T08:28:59.138-07:002010-06-28T08:28:59.138-07:00secret agent woman-- I love the vinca too.

I'll give them credit for being more tolerable than many kid's shows, but still...<br /><br />Funny about the weed eater, mine crapped out yesterday. Well, it still runs, but the trimmer reel won't lock. I wound it up yesterday, pulled the trigger, and it chopped up 30 feet of line into 1 inch bits in seconds. It was something to see. Hope I can fix instead of replace.<br /><br />Spent the weekend relaxing, sort of, with #1 son. Nice, but hot. Hot still... 90 and muggy. T-storms tonight and tomorrow, then hopefully some relief.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-38288634739272214952010-06-28T03:10:47.323-07:002010-06-28T03:10:47.323-07:00Great work with the yard - the weeds will creep in...Great work with the yard - the weeds will creep in no matter what, but it will be so much easier to work on it now.
