Well hello there summer

Summer unofficially got underway in Chicago this weekend with a lovely 97 degree record-breaking day (side note: I think I can officially put away my snow boots now).  As much of a pain as 97 degrees is, I'll take that over NATO any weekend!

We decided to stay put, avoid the airports and enjoy some downtime at home.  Roy's had his nose stuck deep in a nerdy science book called The Short History of Nearly Everything and has been soaking up all the military movies on TV.  I took advantage of the long weekend with a few extra yoga classes and some cooking, including a strawberry pie to go with some Asian honey kebabs and grilled veggies for dinner tonight.

We also made a visit to the dog park that resulted in some hilarious photos.  Here's a quick preview, more to come along with a homemade frozen dog treat recipe later this week.

Wherever you were this weekend, I hope you enjoyed yourself and took a few moments to appreciate the real reason behind the Memorial Day holiday.  And to all our service men and women, thank you for all that you and your families do.

xoxo,
A Grateful American
