The Thrill of the Grill

Gas grills are one of the best inventions ever.

Especially when you're down to one adult. With The Mr. on the coast, we're eating off the grill until his return. Well, probably for the rest of the non-freezing weather season.

I just really love how simple it is and that it's outside. So many less dishes and that brief escape from the house every few minutes to check or flip whatever thing your burning.

This week, with daddy away, we're high dining on hot dogs and burgers.

The kids think it's great. They said tonight, "Hey Mom, This is just like when you're gone!" And yes, my name around here is Hey Mom, but you have to say it so it sounds like a single word.

The days are long and the nights not long enough, but it's just a week, and we're half way through.
