Barton Creek Greenbelt party is on this summer.
Life around the house has been dominated by manual labor type activities. The kids and I have been making daily runs to the dump, hauling away the cedar that was chopped down. We took some time this weekend to visit the Barton Creek Green Belt near our home. Several hundred other people had the same idea. It was quite the party.
The Whole Foods Flagship store near us is an easy option for cheap and fun dinner. You can buy whatever you like from inside the store (Pizza for us) and your beverages to enjoy on the rooftop patio and playscape area.
So far, Summer weather has not been too hot to enjoy the outdoors. It's actually been quite nice.
#2 son has been hinting that he's ready to start taking guitar lessons. He gave us an air guitar performance to drive the point home.
Another easy meal option has been smoking in the BGE (Big Green Egg). We bought some pastured organic birds from WF because caged birds have a bitter aftertaste of depression. I loaded the smoker up at ten in the morning and removed birds, ribs and sausages later that evening for a feast.

We also joined some friends for a celebration at Chinatown. Jorge (sushi chef) is really talented. I find the best sushi is not from the menu, I let him chose what to make and it's always good.
