Barby Time!

Right now, I'm listening to the broadcast of the ULM football game against North Texas over Jonnene's laptop as I update my blog. The game starts at 6pm Saturday night in Monroe and it's 8am Sunday morning here...a bright sunny day with a brisk wind. It's pretty cool to catch some football live while on the other side of the world!

Last night we had a cookout at David and Olga's house, and Jonnene's mom was able to come over, too. We enjoyed some BBQ chicken kabobs with sausage links, salad, potato salad, and garlic bread. The meat was cooked on David's brand new BBQ and cooker but it didn't last long since he was using a fuel tank he already had and it ran out of fuel not long after he started! But it was on long enough to cook the meat sufficiently for us without using the kitchen cooktop. This whole weekend thru Monday will be an Aussie delight for me with plenty of cookin' on the barby! You gotta love it!

All of us gave Faye (my mother-in-law...wierd for me to think I have one!) an early Christmas present: a digital camera. We gave it early so she could use it at the family gathering on Sunday. Actually, the gift was for both Faye and Bill but he wasn't there. I think she'll understand how it works since she has kids who are up to snuff on these things.

Most of the day was spent at home (Raelene's house) and later, Jonnene and I spent some time at the stores looking for "boarder" shorts, or surfer shorts, for me so I'll have something to wear when we go down to the beach later this week. The weather is good enough and we heard the water in the Indian Ocean is warm enough to spend some time in. I didn't find anything I liked or within my price range, yet, but we'll keep looking.

So far ULM is playing pretty good but it's early in the game. North Texas is three-and-out in its first offensive series. Hope the Warhawks keep it up!
