Cooler weather!!

This is my favorite time of year! The chill in the air, being able to leave the windows open and being able to spend more enjoyable time outside because it's not so stinking hot. It also makes me want to sit outside on the deck wrapped in a blanket sipping on hot tea just enjoying the morning or reading a good book. :) I don't like to freeze but I do like to be just cool enough to wrap up in a blanket.

This morning is the kind of morning that makes me remember the times when grandma and grandpa Parker would take us camping at Clayton Lake. There would be a slight chill in the air and we would wake up to grandma fixing a breakfast of bacon, eggs and fried biscuits, either on the open fire or the stove in the camper. Either way it smelled so good. Grandpa would be getting the fishing poles & boat ready or if we were at Sulfur, we would be getting ready to go swimming. Once when we were at Sulfur we had found the perfect swimming hole, nobody else was there, and it had a deep spot for swimming but it was right where the water flowed over the rocks to. We had swam for awhile and then went and ate something and then went back, well we walked back up to our spot to find a girl sitting there washing her hair and shaving her legs! Thankfully she was sitting on the over flow so it wasn't actually messing up our swimming spot, but I feel sorry for the people that were down the creek from us! I treasure those times with my grandparents!

I love the taste of grilled burgers, chicken, steak, well pretty much anything grilled. One day when I still lived at home with mom I decided to fix a treat of grilled burgers for everyone. I had not grilled before but I wanted to try it. So I bought a little table top grill and the cheap charcoal and lighter fluid from the Dollar Store, got it all put together and never could get it to burn. We had burgers anyway, they were just cooked in the house instead of out side. Well I have been wanting to try it again so I got out the big charcoal grill and this time I bought the Kingsford charcoal and lighter fluid, and this time it worked, I got it to burn and grilled chicken and potatoes, and then of course later that week I fixed us grilled burgers! yummm :) Now with this cool weather it makes me want to grill us burgers even more than I was wanting to already.

God is good, be blessed!
