Tewksbury is having a thunder storm. Sid and Sha-sha seems to be quiet with all the the thunder and lightning.
It sounds good to me . I like rain, thunder and lightning.
In one of my Flickr photos, someone has commented on my pig roast party.
It was a message I could respond to.

My Annual Pig Roast Party and a Special Event
I have a pig roast party coming up. It will be different this time. My son graduated from Vorhees High and he is going to Rutgers University. It will be our usual community summer party and an added special graduation celebration for my son.
So, what is new this time? My daughter is redoing our family room for our guests and my townmates.
She is the artist of the family. My wife and I trust her decision. Our family room is partially done and I think I like what she has done!

Matt's Out-of-Town Friends
It is almost 1 o'clock am in New Jersey. Matt's out-of-town friends will be visiting the City tomorrow.
They are in the pool at this moment... about 80 degrees. It looks cold to me.
For them, they are having a good time!
Karen and I are a little bit worried about our neighbors... voices echoes well at night.
It is only for a night.
I would do the same at their age!
Let them have some fun in Tewksbury, New Jersey!

First Sight of Firefly on a Sunday Afternoon
It was cooler today in contrast from yesterday temperature, brought by a high pressure from the west. But it was cloudy due the the low pressure from north of us in the Canadian border.
I do sound like a weather person.
It was great afternoon to tend my backyard, trees and everything else without getting much sweat.
I grilled homemade burgers topped with cheddar cheese and my wife sauteed mushroom and onion for the burgers, a fine simple dinner.
At dusk, firefly flickered over the trees and bushes and a sight to enjoy. Summer is on its way for sure.
It was my simple pleasure for the day.

A Taste of Spring and Summer To Come
It is the last day of a long holiday weekend.
WE invited a couple of friends for a cook out with homemade burgers and Jersey manufactured hot dogs. We hanged out by the pool with wine, Samuel Adams beer and some hors douevres.
It was a laid back afternoon enjoying an 80 degree weather with sun and clear blue sky.
But a taste of spring and summer to come was when I was tending and exploring my backwoods yesterday. In addition to the beautiful sounds of birds, occasional sights of deer and hopping wild rabbits, there were these voracious blood sucking mosquitoes and horse flies getting onto my skin. By the way, horse fly's proboscis can get through a regular cotton t-shirt! And also the gnats...those tiny insects that hoover your head, it can get into any unprotected human orifices.
I said to myself, welcome to the countryside of Tewksbury.

A Grill Dinner in New Jersey
I always grill burgers prepared by my wife. But today I had the chance to make the meat burger and grill them. My wife is out of town.
I dashed them with some homegrown spices and slapped slice of cheddar a few minutes before being cooked.
It turned out to be a hit. My kids cleaned it up.
It was a hearty dinner without Mom.
It will be different on Mother's Day for sure.

Pig Roast in New Jersey
We had a Nor'Easter yesterday. All is well now. Roads were plowed clean of snow, a very thanks for the guys who did the job when most of us were resting and sleeping. Thank you, again.
The winter spell did not last long today because the snow did not stick into the ground. I can sense spring.
Then, I thougth of my favorite local farmer who has been fattening-up the pig for my 2007 NJ Pig Roast Party, a celebration of community with family friends in the area and my Angadanan (Philippines) townfolks in Jersey. It seems like pig roast party is a common event that people share without boundaries to ethnicity or social backgrounds. I am not unique in my town. A few families, who has been in this beautiful town for many years and generations, have been celebrating this summer event way long before me.
By the way, Happy Saint Patrick's Day. Corned beef and cabbage is the the menu for dinner.
