A Tale of Two Porches

The following is a transcript from the RadioMom Hungry Hoosier show from January 17, 2008

Our house has two porches - a front porch and a back porch. I like our front porch. It has white columns, a gate, and nice furniture. This is where we hang Christmas lights, open presents on summer birthdays, and share popsicles with the neighborhood kids. I like the front porch but I love the back porch. Its where I keep my charcoal grill and all my grilling paraphernalia. The only furniture is an old sun-faded canvas lawn chair. This is the closest thing to a space of my own in or near my house. The other day when the weather was unseasonably warm I decided to fire up the grill and spend a few peaceful minutes on my porch. With beverage in hand, I headed out to put on a steak and some fish. I was only out there for about 15 minutes but it was enough. Just a little time away...on the back porch.
