Just doing stuff........too windy to use our Weber Q today.

Where are we today ?
     We had a wonderful sunrise this morning looks like its gonna be a nice day.
morning sunrise, out our kitchen window
      But the sunshine and wind are not co-operating. Mostly cloudy today and winds at 22 mph and gusts up to 36 mph (58 kph). from the east. And that is right on our patio side with nothing blocking the wind.
      No problem we have stuff to do. First off to Pettigrew's garage in town, service our car, oil change and check the brakes. Back home by 9 am chat for a bit with Suzie then off to Waterloo visit my Ma , have a coffee and some really tasty oatmeal cookies that just came out of the oven! Wow were they ever good, just like I remember she used to make over 50 years ago (sure, sounds like I am getting old).  Well guess we all are.
fresh from oven oatmeal cookies, thanks ma!
       Then dropped Suzie at her Chiropractor for a tune up, read my book in the car and then back home. A bite for lunch then walkabout the windy 5 acres here let the dogs out for a run, and Suzie brushed the dogs for a while in the garage (got her doggie fix) Then we got to read and compute some more before supper time. Oh, she had a mess of phone calls to make as well for stuff, not sure what stuff, don't care, she just took care of it, amazing woman that she is.
Buddy getting brushed a bit more
        It was not raining but with those wind gusts was pretty chilly and not really a great day to fire up out Weber Q. Probably could have if I really want to.
        But hey its could be a LOT worse. So I get to cook inside again, something else we have been craving. Liver and onions that we both love, creamy whipped potatoes, peas and fresh tomato slices.
hit the spot again!
         We are getting stuff done and enjoying our time here at "Camp Awesome". Met daughter number 2 at the school, 3 blocks away, (she had a package for us) and I had a nice short visit with two grandsons in the parking lot as well.
          Now a relaxing evening, compute a bit more and maybe watch a movie or something, on the tube or possibly read for a while before calling it a night.
         Glad you took the time to give us a quick read today, not real exciting for you but us full time rv'ers like to take it easy too. Just because we can.

    After reading all your posts and seeing all your yummy pictures, I could stand it no longer. This past weekend we bought a little Weber Q and we love it! Have only done steaks so far but I'm looking forward to trying to do lots more. You should get a commission!!

      No commission, but we do enjoy some great food coming from it. The more you use it the more you will enjoy some great tasting food.

    Love liver'n onions. People don't know what they're missing! Hate the wind though. We're real tired of it. Don't remember any year that we've had quite so much.

    I haven't had liver and onions for SO long... we used to have that every Wednesday night, with spinach and boiled potatoes and that was my favorite meal when I was a kid. It got windy here in Glen Rose today too... but only up to the low 90's. No rain..... Oh yes... those oatmeal cookies look wonderful!

    Hm, haven't had liver and onions in a long time too. Might be getting ideas.
    It's very cool that your Mom is still around and able to bake cookies. Doesn't matter how old you might think you are.

      Yep we are so lucky to have each other.
      That would be enough to turn you off for sure too bad.

    What's up with the wind? It is gusting at 40 mph here in Sedona, AZ as well. My grandma cooked liver and onions when I was growing up. Thanks for that memory!

      Your welcome.
      Windy everywhere I think.
      Liver and onions is very good as long as it is not overcooked.

    That is a great looking dinner and I like everything on it. I usually go to a restaurant though to get liver and onions - the wife is not a fan.

      When I had my restaurant that was always a very successful day when I put liver and onions on special.
