It's a lovely day. Blue skies and sunshine, but the overly hot temps have settled into the 70s F .. perfect outdoor friendly weather. The parades don't come back into the neighborhood streets but I can hear them out on the 4 lane even as I type . Been there, done that, but the children and many others love the festivities. Daughter and a couple of friends took off on foot to become part of the crowd. She's still a big kid at heart. The afternoon will be for grilling and feasting ... then, as soon as it's dark enough for full effect ... FIREWORKS! After that ... concert in the park. Independence day celebration as usual but a couple of days early so more people will have a chance to participate.

Congrats Mouse!!! That all sounds marvelous!!!
Had a busy morning. My friends that I have the dog bakery business with have been remodeling a back building at their house. Part of it will be our bakery and the other a game room. Last two weekends we have been putting in the ceiling......tedious work and working with insulation is never fun........but for two double ovens I would do just about anything!!!
Hoping to have a laid back rest of the holiday weekend. Hopefully have a get together on the 4th.....cookout and go swimming......yums and fun!!!
My best to all......stay safe out there!!

Extra long weekend because of the 4th falling on Monday. The rest will be smaller, family holiday, here. Yesterday was the big community blow out. The rain held off until after all the spectacular fireworks and it was cool enough for a sweater so ... perfect. Today will be swimming and being lazy, I think.

Hello!
Well....will start getting geared up for all the cooking out tomorrow. Plenty of family and friends coming over. There will be swimming and bunches of food. Kind of decided to do it last minute......July 10th would be my parents 62nd anniversary. My dad passed away in February after about a year long illness.......my mom is doing really well.....but some things really get her down so I think a lot of family distracting her.....and really all of us......will be lovely.
Going to the movies this afternoon to see Finding Dory........it will be adorable.
Hope all of you have a wonderful and blessed day......stay safe out there!

We took the kids to see Finding Dory and thought that we'd be bored. No. It's one of those movies everybody likes. Have fun!

We have decided to spend August in Tennessee, rather than July. I hope the weather will be as nice then as it is now.

Happy 4th of July or Happy Monday.....whatever the case may be!! lol
Well.....got the house cleaning done.....or at least what I'm going to get done. Little bit of relaxing time before the festivities this afternoon! Think we are supposed to hit triple digits in heat today and all the rest of the week!!! We've had pretty mellow temps so while I want to whine I won't. I'm hoping this dries up some of the swampy areas and maybe zaps some of the mosquitos out of the air!!
Hope all of you have a lovely day........stay safe out there!!!
