Don't Eat Yellow Snow!

You all know the saying "Don't Eat Yellow Snow". But of course I am married to a rebel! Thankfully in this case the yellow snow was just Tang that got dropped but Keith thought it would gross people out so he had to have a picture! My big rebel! These pictures are from a few weeks ago when our neighbors and friends, the Bodony family, returned from a weekend trip to their cabin. When they got home they really didn't want to go in and cook while the weather outside was so beautiful! As I have said before, this time of year is a happy time and you find EVERYONE outside enjoying the sun and the warm temps. Tim and Karin are awesome neighbors to have because they are good at spontaneity. Changing plans is not a big stress so when the weather outside is so pretty and you don't want to waste it, it calls for "dinner on the barbie". OK so  I am NOT from Australia but I have always wanted to say that! If I was in Zambia I would say we had a Braii. For a translation to anyone who doesn't know what a Barbie or a Braii is..... It is grilling outside. Though I don't think a Braii or a Barbie usually have about 3 feet of snow around you! But hey that is how we roll in Galena. I made up some Pizza dough and took out some brats. We have discovered that wrapping a brat in Pizza dough and cooking it on a stick over the fire is DELICIOUS!!! Tim cooked up some steaks and some sausage too.  It was a great dinner outside! With S'mores for dessert, can life get any better? We even discovered what happens to Marshmallows when the freeze and when melted chocolate falls on your snow-pants wait 5 minutes, let it freeze and it peels right off.   Once the sun started to set it did get a little chilly so we headed home soon after dinner but it was so much fun! Love having neighbors that don't mind crashing each others parties! =) It happens quite a lot between our homes. =) That is why it is fun to have neighbors like the Bodonys!  Happy Spring! It is coming .... I can feel it!
