Simple Hot Summer Day Time

By
Real Estate Agent
Yesterday was another really hot Sacramento day - Temp around 105 degrees.

Some family members found their way to my home for a little "Us Time." We wanted simple faire, nothing fancy - Hot Dogs, Sausages, Potato Salad, Corn on the Cob, Coleslaw, Watermelon, Apple Pie, etc.

However, Filet Mignon Skewers, Watergate Salad, and a Key Lime Pie, also appeared on the table!

We weren't able to comfortably do outdoor activities originally planned, because of incendiary heat, but still it was really good to be together, and visit!

The photo is of two of my granddaughters (Macie and Sophia) and myself.

Myrl, I was thrilled that about two days ago things cooled down here... now I must admit I always enjoy your food photos and this one is extra special, Endre

What a lovely photo, Myrl. Can't imagine temperatures quite that high in June. The key lime pie sure sounded delicious!

Thanks, Myrl and thank you to Alexandra Ron and Alexandra Seigel who alerted me that you included the link to the Watergate Salad.   Perhaps a secret of that time you were doing undercover culinary surveillance or even from Mark Felt?

There are secrets one has to take to their grave, Michael. By the way, did you know Julia Childs was known to have done a little undercover work during WWII?

How wonderful that you were able to spend time with loved ones, although not so wonderful that it was so hot. Thank you for sharing!

We had the family gathered yesterday for Father's Day and all were very happy as well.  I was particularly happy as someone else did the grilling.

What a wonderful get-together. While I don't eat hotdogs or sausages, the platter does entice. I'm sure the food and company were top-notch.

Good Tuesday morning, Myrl.

Have a great day. We have rainy weather in Maryland and the rain has cooled us.

Those hot dogs aren't near done enough for me.  Somehow, I learned to eat them just a tad less than charred.

It is warm here but not hot. Lots of rain and humidity is about 70%. New Orleans is flat near a lot of water. We have no rocks or hills...All is flat.....

You have such a great family and I truly thank you for always sharing your photos of you and them. These are moments when I realize just how alone I feel some days. No parents, no wife, no kids and fewer and fewer friends. I know the paths we choose, cheers cvc

As hot as it was in some places, sometimes it can feel the most  like summer on days like this!  :

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat . Beautiful photo and you all look so happy, fresh, rested, and relaxed even in your hot temperatures.  The food looks so delightful and thanks for introducing me to the Watergate Salad; first time I heard of it.
