The annual Pismo Car Show was going on, and though we had hoped to stroll the streets of Pismo gawking at all the cool cars, that didn't happen. It was just too darned busy and crowded to make the attempt.
A little barbeque Saturday at my sister's and a self-cooked Father's Day breakfast at my Mom's with Jimmy, Jen, Roth, and the baby highlighted the weekend.
Brother-in-law, Mark, and niece, Kassie (home from UC Santa Cruz). Sister Kris and Kassie.
I handled most of the cooking honors at the barbeque: Foil roasted salmon, grilled zucchini and portabellos, Italian sausage, and a "96-ouncer" sliced up for everyone to enjoy a slice or two of beef. Kassie, by the way, is a vegetarian. A few beers, a couple of cocktails, a game or two of croquet, and excellent chow...and it was over almost before it began. But, the short length of time spent was coveted and we all had fun. Our Sunday morning breakfast was similar in time. A few hours with Jimmy, Jen, Roth, Rowan, Mom...and, of course, Loretta. Jen, Roth, and Rowan flew back to Seattle on Monday morning. Jen's perspective chronicled on her blog.
The 500+ mile drive there and back is always near excruciatingly painful, ie, Highway 5...ecch!!! But, is always worth the effort. Hopefully, we can make the jaunt again sometime this summer or fall when I have some vacation time.
Check out 80 year Betty and granddaughter Kassie playing croquet.
You can't beat times like this!
