BBQ Results
We had a ton of people (16 counting Kiara and me) over at the house Saturday for a neighborhood BBQ to celebrate the start of Spring. Funny thing was that we had to chip the ice off of the grill before we could start cooking. Good thing it fired up right away.
We all had a good time hanging out, talking, and eating some roasted meat. Kiara’s potato salad was a hit, and there was none left after we were done eating.
Our “tractor neighbor” had three kids over with him. One is about 20 years old, and the other two are around 10-11 years old. All three of them were incredibly polite, and were a joy to be around. All three of them made a point to come over to Kiara and I and thank us for having them over. It was quite refreshing to find children that were polite and courteous. It made me quite happy to have neighbors that have raised children like that.
“Tractor neighbor’s” wife was talking about a book that she was reading about the local history of the area. It was pretty interesting stuff. Turns out that our area had been settled in the late 1800′s, and the main purpose of the area was to grow potatoes. I noticed that the rolling hills of the area have been terraced a small bit, and I bet it was so that the farmers could grow their crops.
I just hope that our house wasn’t built on an ancient cemetery that the potato farmers used.
