The sun rises very early here, about 4AM. I got up with the morning light only to go back to bed. I was the first up so I let the dog out and took a shower. Eventfully Toby, the little one got up and started eating his cereal. Followed by Gareth. Gareth made coffee and tea and started to cook some bacon in the oven. Suzy came down and had we all had bacon sandwiches. Gareth and I dropped Toby off at athletics. Then Gareth and I took the dog for a long walk around the park. The dog loves chasing sticks and swimming. We kept him busy. After an hour, we walked back and picked up Toby. We headed back to the house, Sam finally got up. Gareth and I dropped off the two kids at other activities. Gareth and I went grocery shopping then we swung by his neighborhood Italian deli. A very cool shop, I wish we had one in Philly. Had a very nice lunch, just sandwiches and a salad followed by a fruit bowl with ice cream. After lunch, I started working on a homemade BBQ sauce that Gareth asked me to make. It turned out pretty good. We prepped for the BBQ most of the afternoon. We had pork ribs, pork chops, hamburgers, pork sausage, chicken, kabobs and wings. And of course plenty of sides and puddings (deserts). We had the USA World Cup game on during dinner. Most of the guest ate outside in the backyard. We had vintage Shiraz during dinner and a very nice Port as an after dinner drink. Got to bed around midnight.
