Picnic! ...by Magdalena Scott

Last weekend after church, we had a simple picnic at a lake outside town. It was a warm, sunny day, and we were fortunate to score a shelter house on a hill overlooking the lake. Evidently previous picnickers had satisfied the geese, because they didn't pester us.

And only one bug--a sweat bee that checked us out and moved on.

I love alfresco dining, whether a home-packed picnic or sidewalk table at a city restaurant.

It's Memorial Day weekend in the United States, and lots of people will have picnics and cookouts in their backyards or parks.

What about you? Do you like to dine outdoors? Picnic, cookout, or restaurant? Are you grilling anything yummy this weekend? (I keep thinking about Raine English's recipe a few days ago, for grilled shrimp. Yum!)
