Well you might be wondering where my blogs have gone. It has been an issue of lack of education. I have a new imac, a delicious machine, but some very simple tasks escape my learning curve as of yet. For instance, I took a phone photo of Sallie & Bob eating dinner with us on the deck last night but can't get the photo from my phone , into an email, on to my hard drive and into iphoto. Yes I'm mildly frustrated but i will re-learn working a MAC.
As to Bob & Sallie, delightful company. Rindy fixed a great meal, we chatted on politics, travel, religion, kids and grand kids. We gamed it up with Sallie destroying us in Dixit. Bob of course knew the latin definition of Dixit - Latin meaning " he himself said it". It is a phrase used for a statement which is unsupported by any other evidence than the fact that the person himself said it. - (which in candor I had not known) but is a great name for the game. We appreciated them making the drive out to the suburbs to hang with us for the evening.
I just had a thought and deduced where the image had downloaded. Now to move it where I want it. I am teachable.
Evan joined us for the game. His randomness adds a dimension to the experience and makes it fun. And he is always willing to carry the conversation. We are enjoying having him home for the summer.
As to cobbler - it was the first of the peach & blueberry cobblers that come with summer fruit. Nothing finer as a dessert.

Grill On
One of the changes from Minnesota to Illinois is the shorter grilling season down here. We always had a direct gas line to our grill in MN and grilled no matter the weather. Here we use a propane tank and are more constrained by the weather.
Today we had Tyler and his relatives over for burgers on the grill. He ended up being the only one not to eat one - so much for sophisticated baby taste - they were great.
Also enjoyed playing a new game Dixit (2010 Spiel des Jahres Winner) - a nice creative thinking game in which I unfortunately did quite poorly this time round.
