Sometimes when my daughter and her family are in town, they will go
and float the river (in large inner tubes). It takes a couple of
vehicles to get the gear and people to the dropping off and also the
pickup place. Often that evening will be planned for dinner at my
ex's house. Since ex and wife are off picking up tubers, she will
give me the key to the house and just let me have at getting started
on dinner. I do similar when everybody is coming to my house. We
often have at least 3 women in the kitchen mingled with the guys
to-ing and fro-ing ferrying things back and forth. There's always a
lot of chatter, laughter, wine, beer and photos. The only thing we 'do
not' mess with is each other's grill and grilling food. That's a big
no-no.
(Tubing is a big deal here in the summer. The float takes a couple of
hours and is terrific on a hot summer day.)
