Friday Five

It's been a busy week for me, trying to get back into the routine after a post-Easter vacation. (How did it get to be Easter 3?) So to keep it simple, here's a Word Association Friday Five, with a bonus twist for those feeling creative. First, for each of these five words -- all of which remind me of my *most* excellent vacation -- share the first word that comes to mind when you read it.

1) Airport- Flights
2) Baseball-Da Braves
3) Art- Painting
4) Chocolate-Weight
5) Grill-Outdoors


Bonus: Tell us a story that comes to mind based on one of the word pairs.

I bought my first grill several years ago. I specifically wanted a charcoal grill. I wanted something I could afford and I had fond memories of squirting the lighter fluid on the dark chunks before my dad would light them.  It was a big deal to me at that young age. 
 My brother and his family lived close by and came over to eat some. After my brother had visited several times, he decided to buy me a very nice gas grill for Christmas. It is a very nice grill and will make wonderful steaks and burgers, but you do loose the charcoal smell from the el cheap-o grill. I shall enjoy using it and hopefully find a substitute for the smell. Just one of those scents I love.
