Candelight Barbeque

Yesterday we had great plans for a 4th of July party. Our Sunday night Bible study group, with most of their kids, were coming over. I decided to forego the usual burgers and hotdogs fare and try something a bit more exotic--kabobs.
This is what it looked like getting my friends to assemble the kabobs. But did you notice the candles?

This is what it really looked like (the previous photo was taken with flash.) We had a storm come through just about the time to start the charcoal, so my Plan B was to use the broiler. But then the power went out, so we were back to Plan A even if it was still raining.

It took quite an effort to get the charcoal going in the rain, and you can see from Dave's shirt, that it wasn't too fun for him to be the cook. The power came back on in the middle of the meal.


In other news, I had a nice long free talk with Andrew over Skype today. He seemed discouraged with too many details to deal with, so we should pray for him. He said Laura was trying to learn to drive a stick shift--good for her!
