After a busy weekend, today will be restful.  Nothing demanding my attention and looks as though the temperatures will be headed downward for the rest of the week, so maybe I will be able to get outside and dig and pull. 

Hubby did an outstanding job on a beef brisket on Friday evening.  Marinating in yogurt for about 4 hours, then smoking uncovered for 4 hours, then seasoning and wrapping for a night of slow cooking, this baby turned out fantastic.  Tender and moist, even the kids were eating it by the handfuls.  The flavor was out of this world and as you know a brisket is not the top of the line when it comes to moistness and tenderness, but the unflavored yogurt did its work and broke down those fibers.  Good eating!

The grandchildren, nieces, and nephews enjoyed a long swim while the older folks relaxed and watched.  A peaceful and restful afternoon. 

In ten days my parents will be married for 60 years.  That's a long time to live with one person.  I am proud of their efforts and the fact they have hung in there and not thrown in the towel.  It hasn't all been a bed of roses, but they have managed to work around the thorns without any deep injuries and the scars have made their marriage stronger.  There are still days they get on each other's nerves, but hey after 60 years they have a right. 

Thanks for dropping by and until next time . . .

Happy reading!
