Daughter and her two youngest children got here about 11 am. Ol' Granpa had some eggplant pancakes (gotta get rid of them someway) that the kids wouldn't eat but the adults loved. To go with it we had baked beans with onions and grilled smoked sausage and old-fashioned hot links washed down with your choice of chilled beverage and followed by a mix yellow cake with store bought lemon icing. Hey, when I'm feeding two teenagers who eat everything I don't bother making stuff from scratch. <VBG> I have a nice pork loin in the oven now and am basting it with a raspberry/chipotle basting sauce I got at Sam's Club. Stuff was made in Canada, kudos to our northern neighbors as this stuff is good with a capital G. We're having home grown broccoli and corn on the cob from Miz Anne's corn patch to go with the loin and some fresh French baguette bread I scored at a local bakery this morning. Will toast that lightly under the broiler with a little garlic butter on it. Tomorrow I will be cooking them a giant breakfast and a bigger lunch so they can go home well fed and happy. I'm happy in the garden of my life, my family, so life is indeed good. George
