Labor Day Weekend, Day 1

Our #2 daughter is back at college. Her ride picked her up about 1:30 this afternoon, bringing us back to having two kids in the house. It's relatively quiet here now.

Grilling lunch today was a special treat, since #3 daughter was able to keep me company. We must have both been distracted, since she usually sees to it that I don't zap the burgers. Today they came out rather over-done.

On the other hand, she noted that the back yard grape vine bore grapes. They're much smaller than what you'd buy in a supermarket, but have an intense taste. I wonder if our grapes are 'normal,' and the commercial ones have the taste of one grape, diluted through a much larger volume.

And now, in the evening, a south wind wafts the roar of the racetrack around our house.
