Trip to Iowa July 10th

Hard to believe it is SATURDAY...all of the days are just blending together.  Ted and Anne have decided to treat us to Crepes for breakfast...Anne makes a strawberry filling and whips up some whipped cream while Ted makes the batter.  We eat them one at a time...and try other variations.  I like savoury crepes so I make a white sauce to put with my left over prime rib from the night before and that ends up yummy!  We also do a chocolate and banana one...also good!  For the rest of the day we are pretty lazy.  We decide that we will just hang out...as always...and just do whatever.  We visit, we look at pictures, we listen to stories...we eat.  More bird watching and reading in the sunroom...I swear it is my new favorite room in the house.  For many years it was the piano room..then the TV room...now it is the sunroom!  Ted and Anne grill chicken for dinner...it is YUMMY.  Ted does a great job of cooking the corn and chicken on the charcoal grill...while Anne preps food and makes potatoes in the oven.  It is quite the feast!  We decide that group photos are needed so we head outside to where the sun is starting to set. We also decide it is time for a fire...haven't made one yet.  Grandpa brings TONS of wood and before long we have a fire we are sitting 5 feet away from.  We toast marshmallows and make s'mores...it is all really fun!  Ted and Anne will leave in the morning!
