Thoughts of a Middle Aged Man

Sorry about the lack of posts, but in reality, things have been quiet, if not boring around the place. That changed as rooms started filling up this week. Our son is down from college for the summer and on Thursday Jim and Ivana arrived from New Zealand for a 10 day stay. For Father’s Day filled all the rooms of our house, with another couple from New Zealand taking one room and Ivana’s brother in another. With additional guests from other parts of the world visiting for an evening party, we had a regular United Nations meeting.

I spent the weekend cooking mexican for the party. Tomatillo Salsa, roasted tomato salsa, carnitas, chipotle shrimp, and beans all made their appearance at the Father’s Day party. Adding to the enjoyment was the thrilling last round of the US Open followed by game 5 of the NBA championship. Lots of trash talking was taking place with fans of both the Celtics and Lakers. It made it an exciting evening.

Its good and fun to have a full house.
