A BBQ Picnic!

As I mentioned before Friday was gorgeous here in Portland. So gorgeous in fact that it allowed Craig and I to have a BBQ/picnic at a park near our apartments. On the menu were hot dogs, southwestern seasoned corn on the cob, buttermilk potato salad, watermelon, pickles, and chocolate chip cookies. We used a portable grill I bought recently and I'm in love with. I don't know if it was the sun or the park or puppykins or what but I feel like our little outdoor meal made me so incredibly happy. I want to spend the whole summer in the park having mini BBQs and being outside with my dog.






Afterward Craig and I went over to my place to watch a movie. Tiger hung out in my lap and Javier slept in what is supposed to be the dog bed. Until Craig left and I walked him to the door. Then Tiger decided he needed to sleep in the bed too.





At least one of them seems content with that arrangement.

What I'm Wearing Today

It finally looks like Summer here in Portland! Which probably sounds crazy to the rest of the country. We've had the lamest June ever. It's been rainy and cool and grey and annoying. I woke up this morning and there was sun! It felt so good.

And even though I wear dresses year round in all kinds of weather it's nice to be able to accessorize with a little vitamin D.






Tonight I'm doing a BBQ in the park. I'm super excited (another reason I'm thankful for the sun). I got a portable grill that looks pretty awesome so we'll see how it works out. On the menu are hot dogs (veggie for me), garlic pepper corn on the cob, watermelon, rosemary potato salad, grilled veggies, and plenty of adult beverages. Mmmm...
