I have my bulldozer out, clearing things out a bit for our cookout tonight.
We’re having two dear friends for charcoaled steaks, baked potatoes (for some), green bean casserole, and salad.
Since I’m such a terrible housekeeper, an evening like this starts with the bulldozer, moving things from where they ARE to where they SHOULD BE. Then I can do the regular dusting and vacuuming in the public rooms on the first floor (office, foyer, living room, dining area, kitchen, utility room, pantry, and two half baths. I’ll need to clean up the porch (which is now our cat Smoke’s area) because it’s on the way to the deck. I’ll clean off my table by my recliner so that whoever sits on the sofa by the table will have a place to put a drink down. I’ll get out a tray table for our other friend.
I’m delighted that our friends are coming tonight. One of them works full-time in Fort Smith and will be tired after working all day. We’ll have some wine and a nice dinner for her without her having to cook anything. Our other friend is retired, like us. She offered to bring a green bean casserole, so that will be a real treat for all of us. I’ll prep the steaks, baked potatoes, and salad. One friend is an artist who does pastel paintings. The other is a former race car driver (dirt track), and is looking for another race car to buy because she misses racing. Both women enjoy practicing shooting – though it will be too hot for that this evening. Our conversations are lively and eclectic.
I’ve got to get busy if I’m going to have things ready. I hope you have a fun day!
