Fire Pit
What else can you do when you have a fire ordinance . For the six weeks that Dad was here we enjoyed lots of time around our own style campfire,roasting hotdogs and marshmellows. We also enjoyed lots of grilling on our outdoor grill . Many times Dad and Bryan would be outdoors manning the grill while I would be inside getting the rest of the dinner ready. Bryan was always ready to get our firepit ready with a roaring fire which we would keep going well after dark. I had just bought the grill and firepit for our August anniversary but we had not even used it yet. It was wonderful having Dad here to enjoy it with us for his stay. Those coals got pretty hot by the end of our visiting time around it. As he would go to bed for the night,I would go out to check on it and find the coals would still be red hot. Alittle stirring of the coals brought back to life the fire that had simmered into coals for alittle while,allowing me to sit next to it listening to the next door neighbors enjoying their pool and firepit with family and friends. A fire is wonderful to sit around with friends and family to chew the fat. We went through lots of wood including wood we brought back in Dad's truck from Ron and Pat's in the UP. We went to Pat's mother's funeral and spent the night at their place out in the camper parked in their driveway. The next morning Ron,his son in law and Dad went out and reved up the ole chainsaw. Dad's truck came back brimming with pine from the back of Ron's yard. That wood is waiting for this summer and fall to come around.

It's still a fire, and its still enjoyable. No different that a fireplace, really! Glad you got you woodpile for this year. That's a rare commodity in some places (like big cities and open prairies).

Did u save some marshmallows for wascally wabbit?
Bryan used the rest of them in his hot cocoa sorry about that.
