How can you make it through Fall without at least one wiener roast? Well, the Leman's gathered together despite the call for rain; piled up the wood, broke out the wieners and buns and prepared for a nice long night around the camp fire.
We had a terrific time for the first hour and half and then down poured the rain! At least we got the hot dogs cooked (actually some were barely warm and others were blackened to a crisp) and then enjoyed some cozy time inside the house thanks to Brad and Erika.
I used to dream of these annual wiener roasts when we lived in India and was surprised at how I could have such longing feelings toward a hot dog. There is just something about getting together with family in the cool crisp air around a fire...something about the smells...the sound of crackling wood and giggling children....It stirs memories of times past and pulls us away from the present worries.
Thanks Jen for getting us together and thanks Brad and Erika for opening up your home. We had a terrific time!
