Today we hosted a bbq (that was planned before we knew the forecast called for a blustery high temp of 57, which on our rooftop was more blustery and wind-chill-colder than that). So most of us sat inside while Jimmy tended the grill outside. 

We were able to visit with our dear State Department friends from Brasilia days, private-sector apartment complex buddies from São Paulo, and two contractor guys Jimmy worked with in Afghanistan (and their wives).  Once again, I'm reminded of how precious this life we lead is when we can meet up with such a diverse mix of people from different points in our married life. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
