We had a great Bar B Q at our daughter's house, nearby on the Saturday evening... It was a sorts of a family get together where three generations of the family were there, Us the grand's, our daughters and the grand children... And of course our son in law were there too... And this evening we had a guest as well... It was indeed interesting to be together in an atmosphere of joy, cooking, grilling on open fire and enjoying every minutes of the get together, that at time thence to be hilarious as the children having fun playing together at the small playground near the Bar B Q spot, where a table covered by a check table cloth, is set up in the open air... Like that you often see in the movie... But this evening it is for real, in a family get together in the tropic and on Saturday night.... The weather is rather humid and it is still hazy.... It look like it going to drizzle and it would be alright if it just drizzle and I hope it do not shower for it would spoil our outdoor Bar B Q and the fun that come with such a gathering... Surely we are not the only family that are having this sorts of evening gathering... I believe the same type of gathering of families are happening, at this very moment at another house or location in this country, or in another countries where the time zone are the same... And in places where the time zone are different, maybe families are just preparing to have their Bar B Q or in a different time zone ahead of ours, they had just finished having one... I guessed that Bar B Q have become a today's world culture of a sorts, being enjoyed by all, no matter where they are... It is the human in us that want to be together with our loved one and enjoy the good life... And a get together like this is a mean to an end ...The closeness.. Among family members..... So we got the chicken, the prawn and the lamb grilled and with the salad and the grilled potatoes and the sweet potatoes ready, we sat down to enjoy the spreads and chat among family... With the children careless about what is happening with the world around them and obviously enjoying the evening fun..., and our guest, a young American I supposed were enjoying this evening as well and perhaps nostalgic of such gathering back home sometime ago with his family... Well surely it would bring him good memories of home and the longing to be back home in California... Funny though... We long to be home when we are away... It is the same with all the culture, whether you are from the East or the West or wherever you are from.. Home is always in your heart...There is a saying here Hujan mas dinegeri orang, hujan batu dinegeri sendiri, lebeh baik dinegeri sendiri translated into English... "It rain gold in other countries, it rain stones in your own country, it is still better to be in your own country".. Well it is always like that with us... Home... Is still the best... So we chat and play with the grandkids and enjoy the foods and eventually call the night off at just before midnight... And looking forward for yet another such gathering the next time... Maybe when our foster children from Italy are around here with us come this October... It would then be another round of fun at another Bar B Q.... Well that is life .... Have fun....
