Summer is officially here, and so far it has been a very nice one. Before summer arrived, SC and I were really excited to get a new gas grill.

It isn’t summer yet – and the weather has been rainy, cool and gray for the most part. The exception was the three days last week when we had temperatures ABOVE 90 degrees.
