A Glimps Sign of Spring

Well, last Saturday when the sun decided to grace us with it's presence, we thought that it would be great if we had a BBQ. This is something that we quit often do in the summer months as a group of friends. It is a lot cheaper then going out for dinner, and fun just to sit in the back yard, and fire up the BBQ for din din.
Although we could not sit on the deck while we cooked, we did get to have our 'first official BBQ of the season'.
Us ladies headed over the Zehr's in the afternoon and got stuff to make a couple of salads, ice cream sandwich's for dessert, and our hamburgers and hot dogs.
After the hockey game was over the boys fired up the Q and started to cook the meat. I a note sure what all of them were doing huddles around the BBQ, besides trying to keep warm, but I am sure that it did not take 4 of them to cook the hot dogs and hamburgers.

While the boys were cooking the meat, we got the salad made, and the pickles cut up for our burgers. We had to do this task a few times because while we were waiting for the guys to finish the food, we snacked away at the strawberries in the salad and the dill pickles that we had cut!!!

That night we had a Buck and Doe to got to for Tom Smith and Sarah Nelson, so we just sat around after dinner, had a game of Pass the Ace, and watch some playoff hockey.<
The Buck and Doe was out in Atwood and they had a great turn out. Tom plays on Curt's ball team, so we were hopping that some of the guys off of the team would be there, since we have not seen them very much through the winter, but no such luck!!!! They did this game were each of them had a buck that people had to put money in, and who ever raised the most money at the end of the night got to through a pie in the face of the other. Needless to say (by the picture) you can probably tell that Sarah was the winner, and Tom was the one that got to wear the pie in the face....hahaha!!!
It sounds like this weekend is going to have a some great weather for us. Here is to hoping that it is true, and maybe we can have our second official BBQ of the season, and even get some outside work done for the spring!!!!
