Flint Hills

Instead of just sitting around the house watching it rain this afternoon we decided to drive around and watch it rain. We took off for the Flint Hills. Our first stop was in Eldorado for lunch at Freddy’s Frozen Custard where we had steakburgers. It’s the first time we’ve eaten at Freddy’s and it was different. We then drove the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway. It stopped raining for most of the drive and we stopped in for a quick visit of the Tallgrass Prairie National Park.

Smoking

Up until recently this BBQ/smoker was a fixture in the garden. It eventually rusted through and I got rid of it. I really enjoyed the process of BBQing and the end result but it takes a lot of time and work. Can be a multi-day ordeal.

Valentines Weekend

Friday evening I received a box of assorted chocolate covered strawberries from Nova which were all gone by bedtime.
Saturday evening Mom and Dad came over for a “shrimp boil”.
Sunday (Valentine’s Day) for breakfast Nova made me biscuits, egg and gravy with her homemade salsa. I went and got Nova her favorite frozen yogurt. Sunday evening nova surprised me with even more gifts… a card and a half eaten bag of Dove chocolates.
