Hope that those of you who celebrated had a great Independence Day today. We certainly did. Practically everyone from dad’s side of the family showed up for grilled chicken (and burgers & dogs). It was all good eats. I ate too much. I probably drank too much. But we all had a blast, the glow-in-the-dark necklaces & glasses were a hit, the sparklers were fun, and lots of neighbors were firing off illegal fireworks which were fun to hear & see. I’d be outside with mom & the girls by the fire, but I got eaten by mosquitoes too much so came inside for hydrocortizone & screen doors. 🙂

PS: Happy belated birthday to timjr!
