This and that

 We had a successful barbecue using the charcoal-burning grill.  Gas grill was supposed to be delivered today, but is now delayed until Thursday.  That’s four cancellations.  We will never order from this company again.  Sigh — they used to be so reliable.

The weather cooperated, to an extent.   No rain, but it was chilly. We wound up serving dessert inside. 

We’re doing it again 4th of July weekend.  By then we should have a gas grill … right?

Just found out that one of our favorite Italian restaurants is closing at the end of next month. We haven’t been there in awhile, there are two other places we also like, but it seems like a lot of our favorite restaurants are closing … 

I’m just happy that most of the Italian places around here do gluten free pizza and pasta dishes.

The sandwich shop we like, the one that was temporarily closed, due to reopen mid-April, is still closed.  But my gluten free bakery/ cafe is about to open another location, right near my office.

I took a walk Sunday.  Saw the usual low-flying planes.

Also saw a weird lawn ornament.  I may have posted this one before.

I think this decoration may have become permanent.

Yes I do live in a very … patriotic … neighborhood.

Though one of my neighbors took down his “Trump 2024” flag.  I couldn’t tell you why.  

And then I spotted something I hadn’t seen anywhere in the neighborhood.

Yes, apparently they do still exist.

I’m getting bored with walking in the neighborhood, may drive down to the beach a couple of times this week. I may have to wear a light jacket, it’s been unseasonably cold …

I drove by the community pool.  It’s nowhere near ready to open.  Last year the pools opened June 15.  Drew plans to get our pool pass next week.  Eventually the weather has to warm up, right?
