Spur-of-the-Moment Barbecue

Life is made up of events. The special ones are memorable but each day should be a celebration-of-sorts, don't you think?

We don't have to wait until it's a holiday to have fun, or do something out-of-the ordinary.

Last weekend, which  just happened to be a holiday,  Father's Day, we had a two-person barbecue. 

We put a couple of steaks on the grill along with corn-on-the-cob.  (There was enough meat leftover for Monday tacos!)

We also had rice and beans and salad.  

It all came together fairly quickly and because I shared it with my hubs, it was special. He needed to know how much I appreciate everything he's done for our family.


I positioned myself so the fountain he put together could be seen as well as the brick patio he built underneath the fountain. Both had added so much ambiance to our backyard and are among my favorite features of our house.

The sound of trickling water is sooooo soothing.  

The weather turned out to be magnificent, not too hot, not too cold.


At 5 p.m. we attended an outstanding show that has always been one of my absolute favorites, namely, Fiddler on the Roof. Gosh, every person in it had immense talent.


The show made me laugh and cry and the music made me want to get up and dance down the aisle. However, I didn't do that, especially because we were in the upstairs balcony and it's quite a drop to the ground floor.


When day was done, I thanked the Heavenly Father for all the blessings of Father's Day, my husband and of my life.
