2nd Annual Crawdad Boil

Janet called this afternoon. Her son Hollis had harvested beaucoup Crawdads while irrigating. As they need to be alive when cooked she called friends and relatives to dinner. She did have to call me twice because we missed but I had already left a message I would attend this treat. My across-the-road neighbors (and back aways), Guy's relatives, were invited and I had not met them in the many years I have lived out here. Ann is a fun lady, her new husband Wendell is an interesting man. Aunt Esther could not attend because she had spotted a rattlesnake on her premises and had shovels stationed at strategic spots in hopes of ending its days. Janet's mom and dad drove down from Sinks Canyon. We yakked and had a few Coronas and cooked the provender. It got up to 104 (at least) today so a picnic in the cooling evening was a pleasure, the food outstanding. I like when a nice surprise interrupts the routine.
