First Day of Summer Part 2

I got home from work at 5:10, then went swimming for a bit. The water is a toasty 80 degrees. It really was a picture perfect day. About a half hour later I made some boneless chicken breasts on the grill. Dana likes BBQ sauce, that's it. I get a little more daring so I put some roasted peppers that I had gotten at the great Italian deli in town along with some fresh mozzarella cheese on top and let it melt. I also had some fresh organic spring onions that I grilled, organic asparagas, sugar snap peas and baby carrots (not the ones that are put on a lathe and shaped). The veggies I steamed for about 8 minutes so they were crisp. The kids were away for a bit so we ate poolside. It really hit the spot. After dinner Dana went to get Grif and i finished this cover I made for my kayak to keep the rain out of the hull since I have to keep it outside. I got VELCRO and made a great cover. VELCRO is amazing stuff. The guy who invented it got the idea from his dog who had wandered in to the thistle and the little sticky balls* were stuck all over the dog and a great invention was made. The dog hair brush! No, VELCRO. Anyway, I'm off subject. So after Dana and Grif got home I had to practically twist arms to get the two of them out on the kayak for a ride. Grif was easier because he wanted to go to the Country Deli that is right next to the lake. So I paddled them to the store then around the lake a bit. It was great to be outside and on the lake for the sunrise and the sunset on the longest day of the year. After getting back from the kayak ride, I swam a bunch more. Sorry to give such a blow by blow description of my day but this was a good one. Oh, and on the way home I stopped by some 3 kids who were selling lemonade for $.25 a glass. I gave them $.75. It was the WORST lemonade I ever tasted but it felt good.

*make up your own dirty joke. I already reached my quota for the day
