The Day:
Welcome to Sunday Funday: Summer style. With the summer ending, it is great to get outside and enjoy the weather, as in a couple of months, we will be housebound in the state of Wisconsin. Now is the best time to get out and enjoy the weather while you still can.
To start sitting outside on the patio with the morning coffee, watching the birds have breakfast at the feeders and the turkeys and other wildlife wandering through the yard eating anything that the birds threw out of the feeders. The weather was perfect at a comfortable 65 Degrees F.
Got ready and then went to have lunch and meet some friends at The Stillery. Had a few drinks and enjoyed one of the lunch specials, Chicken flatbread, which was fabulous. Started with a Spicy Bloody Mary and then went to a drink special they had for a fundraiser for the local human society. It was a grapefruit-based cocktail with bourbon. Didn’t catch the name, but it was a very good cocktail. Chatted with our friends regarding taking a vacation to Florida to get out of the Wisconsin winters.
From there, we went to play a round of golf. Sun was out, drinks flowed, and the golf game was decent. I could only play fifteen holes as the round was a bit slower than I would have liked, but with the weather, everyone was out enjoying. Had a great time with my wife on the course and had a few drinks to pass the time in the gorgeous weather.
Left the course and headed home to make T-bones on the grill, along with some salmon and asparagus. While cooking, I had a few high noon and enjoyed music, the weather, and the patio. Once the steaks were done, I switched to an old-fashioned with Elijah Craig barrel-proof. That was a nice touch with the steaks. For an after-dinner drink, I decided on a rye Manhattan with Basil Hayden Dark Rye that I sipped the rest of the evening.
Conclusion:
I had a great Sunday with my wife and friends. Enjoyed cooking and relaxing on the patio with a great dinner and cocktails. Nothing better than spending time with my wife on a great Sunday at the end of the summer.
