BBQ

Ryan was working on the patio the other day. I was convinced he would be done in time to have some family over for a BBQ. The deck would be all cleaned off, the patio furniture all set up, and even though we couldn't use the lawn it would be pretty perfect! I invited my brother and his family, and my Dad was in town so he was going to stop by on his way home. He lives a couple of hours away. I told everyone 5:30pm. Well, of course Ryan ran out of stone and needed to go pick up some more. He didn't get home with it until 5:00pm, and started trying to finish it. When my family started showing up at 5:30 we had nothing done. I had to ditch the idea of doing it outside. The patio wasn't completed and it and the deck were a mess and covered in dust. I had to pry Ryan away from the job (he has to finish what he started) to get the BBQ going. Only to find out that we're out of propane. Our poor hungry guests. Ryan had to run and get some propane while I started to get everything else ready. By the time he got back and everything was ready it was 6:30pm. My Dad had to eat and run. I felt really bad, but at least the food was good! Hopefully our next BBQ will be a little more successful and we'll be more prepared! And I guess I shouldn't do it on the day the patio is "supposed" to be finished!
