Monk's and Devon's 1st Family BBQ

Truth be known, the July 4th get together was not about BBQ, or even family. It was for Monk to show off his new dog, Waylon. Now, I ask you, is that a cute little face or what??
Chris and Devon moved into a rental in Sugar House area last week and this was their first "cookout" of many to come, I'm sure. Monk is working on the corn and he got it just right, too. The steaks were outta' sight - must have had a good BBQ sensei (that would be David!). Devon did a wonderful job getting it all organized - must be that Tulane degree, ya' think? Here's David going on about something or other, and is that Laura praying that he'll finally shut up? Notice the beer close to David? Eighteen months, to the day, since he's had one. This fact belongs in Ripley's Believe It or Not, don't you think?

Ah, three of my most favoritest people in the world. Aren't they a cute couple? Well, cute may not be the right word for Monk at 6'4" and Devon at 6'1". Imposing may be a better word. And that beautiful, sweet, wonderful (etc, etc) lady on the left is mighty special, too. 15 years together - who'd have thunk it? This is where several of you don't say: How could she have put up with Bobby for that long? Bite you tongues, Jan and Holly.

Well, here's David still talking!! Just any day now, he may actually say something of value and relevance. I'll bet Kayla, Luke, J, and O are asking: "Mommy, why does Uncle David have that funny moustache, or is it a beard?" Hint to the two Mommies before you answer your kids: 'Cause he's weird, that's why!!

Nice little corner cabinet in their house replete with stuff from both of them. Ain't togetherness sweet??

Ah, here's the star of the show - Waylon. Wonder where that unusual name came from?
And more Waylon with me and my wine. Monk was putting on a full court press for us to get a dog. Not gonna' happen, though both of us love dogs and have had several in our respective pasts.
That was our 4th of July and a good one it was. Thanks again Monk and Devon.
