Still high summer here, in the 80s. I was at Emmanuel this morning, and in the afternoon went to a pool party at a member's home.
I took this picture of the pool when I arrived, before anyone jumped in.
We have a lot of young teenagers and children in Emmanuel, and they had a wonderful time in the afternoon, splashing about and playing.
This is our host grilling the burgers. As you can see they have a wonderful outdoor living set up there. They provided the drink and burgers and guests each took a side dish. I made some little chocolate cakes. I decided a long time ago that as I am not familiar with American food I would provide desserts, and that is now what is expected of me.
On the subject of American food I tend to avoid anything I think might be spicy, which is most of it. There was an interesting dish of beans I thought looked nice, and a child said it was very delicious so I thought it must be mild enough for me. I had one mouthful. I think the children are born with an immunity to spicy. At least in these southern states, I've never had a problem in New York.
There's not so many in this picture, but there had been quite a few in the pool before I took this picture, and it was very pleasant watching the children playing.
