Beloved cousins, Angie and Curtis and their wonderful children, came to visit us on Saturday, September 1st. In attendence for an afternoon feast and some good family time were Team Gray, Mom, Langston and Ryan. We grilled burgers, brats and kielbasa. Sides included Dad's potato salad(my favorite!) and a baked veggie thing I threw together (turned out good!). For desert we had popsicles, brownies and some really great cookies from Yani (chef Yani). We hung out, talked politics, sports, current events and played games. Lolo had a ball playing in the backyard with Imani, Joy and Esteban. Dad showed up later that evening and we had great conversation with him as well. It was a wonderful day, I'm so glad they came. I'd love to head north soon to visit Angie and Curtis so that we can hang out one more time before the weather turns.
. I enjoyed the beginning and the middle much more than the end. I remember going on 
. The commentaries are funny. Comments like boring, the Geisha is played by a Chinese woman, you know, things like that. I get how that might just be irritating.
