In case you’ve been wondering how I fill my hours here at the lake when the weather is cloudy and cool, here’s the answer.

This was empty two weeks ago.   I’ve been busy—–and very happy.

Yes, it’s a little weird.  I don’t care.  My kids in Texas never complain when I tuck plastic containers of Italian meat sauce into their freezers.

Making big quantities of food is something I really enjoy doing.   And this summer a large number of Banjo Man’s family are coming here to party at the lake for six days.  While Banjo Man is working outside to surprise his brother with a finished landscaping project involving lots of rocks, I have been in the kitchen.

Chicken enchiladas were Tuesday’s project.

There could be two dozen of us around the dinner table in about twelve days, but I am ready!!!

And yes, there will be pie.

There is always pie, because it is summer.  At the lake.
