Fourth of July

It's a spectacular morning here in Independence, Kentucky. The sun's out, the skies are clear but you get the feeling it's going to get very, very warm. The humidity is creeping up and if we're really lucky we won't get any rain. That would be a nice change of pace.

Colin came out the house and joined Ciara, Matt and Aiden for a cookout. We had a dinner of mashed cauliflower, brocolli as a complement to pork spareribs, chops and t-bone steak. The pork was kind of tough but flavorful; the steak was marvelous. The real treat, however, was the Skype session after dinner with Ian, Rieko and Rosemary. They just returned from Japan. They're jetlagged and trying to get back on schedule. Rosemary is just beautiful and quite the showoff. She likes the attention.

Today we'll join the Muehlenkamp clan at Ryland Lakes C.C. for the annual 4th of July party. There will be 4 generations present with my mom and dad being the oldest, I guess, and Aiden probably the youngest.

Ciara and Matt plan on leaving for NC tomorrow and Buzzy will get to spend 2 weeks with Mimi and Papaw! He's excited right now; we'll see how he feels about that tomorrow morning when he realizes that mommy and daddy are leaving him here!
