Mike And The Girls Come To Visit

Apex, NC
64 deg. overcast, no wind.
Forecast today = Temps falling to the low 60's, cloudy, 80% chance of rain, N. winds @ 5 to 10 mph.

Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day. The morning was cloudy with cool temps, but by noon, the sun was out and the temps were into the mid 70's and they stayed there for the rest of the afternoon.

Mike brought the girls out to see me about 1:30 and being that Jim had started the fire earlier, the coals were almost perfect for roasting hot dogs and brats. The girls seem to like the idea of cooking their hot dogs over the fire, but become impatient when it takes too long. And then of course there's the hot dog that jumps off of the fork and falls into the fire. ;-)

Anyway, I think a good time was had by all, and before you know it, it was time for them to head back home. Maybe they can come back out here again next weekend.

Did you know that the term, "hot dog", has been used as a synonym for sausage since at least 1884?
