This past week we have officially opened the deck for the summer. John took this photo last Monday when he took charge and personally made dinner on the deck happen. I was most pleased at his initiative. While we removed the deck furniture from storage three weeks ago, John cleaned off the table and chairs, set the table and lit the citronella candles.
Then this Friday we had our new pastor and some friends over for Spanish tapas on the deck. Bobbie went all out. We had two kinds of olives, turkey meatballs in romesko sauce, pickled anchovies, three kinds of cheese, potato frittata, and grilled salmon with salsa roja y verde. Our friends brought a green salad, a fruit salad and some Spanish Rioja wine. Bobbie made flan for dessert.
As they say in small town newspapers, a good time was had by all.
Now that the deck is officially open, we hope to use it a lot depending on rain and heat.
Finally, sorry for the two week wait between posts. Somehow I reached the upper limit of free allowable memory on my photos. After some juggling, we are able to post again. Next step will be to actually PAY for expanded memory.
