I just hate to think of the cold weather and all the aches and pains it brings.

So, on that cheerful note:

dusting off the grill for hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixins!!! Nothing like a good old cookout to lighten the mood, eh? Well, a big juciey burger always helps me any how.

I'll share!!!

I'll grab the buns........behave yourself!

It is the blues, nothing like a laugh to chase them away!

Wanna drink? Cherry limeade?

DONE!

I am my own barmaid this week and I've had a glass-half-full kind of week. I'm finding that even though I'm not always having fun, life is still moving fast! Since it's a lovely Thursday evening in the Windy City, I'm going to fix myself one of these. Would anyone else like one?

Cosmopolitan
1 shot vodka
1/2 shot triple sec
1/2 shot cranberry juice
1/2 shot lime juice

Add ingredients to cocktail mixer, shake, then strain into a chilled martini glass.

I LOVE Cosmopolitans (and I never even watched Sex & the City

)!! I'm in. OK, since we've had cake with coffee; what's next...how about a nice summer pasta dish to go with that cookout menu?

Oh Gini?????????? It's calling your name.

Gotta make this quick. I'm at w-u-r-k. I think Mz Gini and I'll take one of these... Heck, it's lunch time. Who doesn't like a liquid lunch?

It's September already? How the heck did that happen?

Actually, we're now sliding into my favorite time of year. The mornings will be cool and crisp, and the afternoons will be warm and sunny

.

Joxer loves this weather. We leave a bedroom window open so that he can sleep right underneath it and be bathed in the cool air.

Is this still self-serve today? I want something that comes out of a blender.
