A success "for sure"

Well Terry and I had our first Villa pool party last night and I would say it was wildly successful.  As always there was a great variety of food and people!  As we started eating I counted 32 and I know several came after that.  Several commented on how much they enjoy these gatherings and one gal even said as she walked the last few days people would stop her and ask if she was coming to the gathering.  It started at 4:30 and Terry and I did not get home until 6:45 or so.  It was nice we had help with setting up and taking down which is always appreciated.  Our next one, in February, will be the 20th and we will grill brats and burgers on site.  I will have to see how difficult it is to get our grill over to the pool.  It is only a few houses away but the Traeger grill is a bit more difficult to move than our Weber was.
I was really happy to have our turkey turn out great.  Terry thought it would be a good idea to grill our last turkey and bring.  I sprayed it with oil and then put a seasoning on it.  After smoking it for an hour I put more seasoning on with melted butter and then grilled it at 275 for about 4 hours.  Several people mentioned how moist and tender it was.  I think I like our Traeger!  An experiment that worked out great.
No it is time to dress and hit the courts for my 7:30 match.  I see it is getting light out and I think we still have warm temps for a while.  In the 60s for highs Tuesday and Wednesday but for now we still have temps in the 80s.
The FP is gone and I am out the door.
