Piplup and I are back at our usual spot to enjoy the sunset. Simply lovely!

Today our internet went down for several hours due to problems caused by the Hurricane down in Houston. I broke out the ol’ Sony radio and listened to some news for a bit. Fun, but I could only pick up a couple of stations inside the house.

We hosted a pizza party with friends tonight and made a total of eight delicious pies. My favorite was the green onion pizza — so tasty! I probably gained about 5 pounds today. 😁



We attended a curry pop-up at our friend’s restaurant, where the plate featured several types of curry, including a refreshing watermelon curry. It was really good! We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. What a great dinner!

Kiki and I went for a ride this afternoon. It was super-hot out, which is not very pleasant when wearing motorcycle gear. At least when we’re moving, it’s not too bad, but stopping to take photos is when I start sweating. It’s more relaxing on the motorcycle than off in the summer!


We postponed our Independence Day grilling to the next day because we attended a party on the Fourth. Today, we grilled burgers and I opted for a chili-cheeseburger using some chili we had in the freezer. It was messy and delicious! Definitely top-tier comfort food.

Today, we attended a party at a friend’s house. Many of our friends work in the food industry, so the dishes they brought were incredibly delicious! My favorites were the tamagoyaki — both flavors were amazing! I ate way too many of them.
