The Barbecue was as close to a complete success as possible.  We had a little problem when we began grilling before Mr. D. came outside.  But while others with grills were asked to leave, we stayed and watched the Senior water and shaving cream battle. Next year, we will invite everyone with a grill to join us. We lost one lawn chair to a water balloon, don't ask me how, and Mike got plastered with shaving cream. Luckily the food stayed dry and clean, including the Ribs.

We also learned many useful things.  For example, I'm sure Josh learned the value of filling the Propane tank the night before.  Maybe next time he'll remember.  And I learned you can never bring too much meat.  We had 16 extra hot dogs and just barely enough pork and beef.

We look forward to having our second annual parking lot barbecue next year.  And just in case things get out of hand since we are seniors, I do believe in a big stick defense strategy.  Not that I'm suggesting anything.
