Summertime

We went to Tug Lake one nice sunny day for a picnic. We alway grilled our food on these days. We had brats this day. All the kids were playing and running around while Bill and I cooked the brats. Mary Lou and Jan (Jim's wife) kept an eye on the kids. Eeverything was going fine until Bill and I got distracted for some good reason. In the mean time something was going wrong with our grill --it was catching on fire. When we look back it was really smoking and the flames were quite high. Seeing this was the only food we had ,we had to rescue the brats. The brats were a little black (all the way through). They didn't taste to bad for Bill and I because we made them, but the kids and women didn't think so.
