That sounds so much more fun than MY day. Busdaddy woke me around 0500 and said it was time to go for a walk. When he was in the army, we only walked/jogged half an hour. This morning, even with all the moisture in the air, we walked uphill for a mile, which took 35 minutes, but only 25 on the way home. He kept going for another 10 minutes, but I was done, as I didn’t have a breathing treatment before I left.

I got a blister on my toe, probably from my sock seam. And the heat and humidity have increased, so a storm can’t be far behind.

I changed my Netflix subscription to DVDs again, as I just don’t think to go through all the steps it takes to get the right beeber doing the right thing with the right electronic item. It’s overcast, too, and if I weren’t in the middle of watching a western with Robert Duval, I’d go to bed.

It’s a VERY quiet 4th of July in Hooterville Junction. I will be dead to the world when the fireworks start. Some folks drag chairs to the sidewalk by the street and watch them in the valley, but that’s too much like work! LOL!

Your day sounds like it was so very much fun! Will any of the younger children hang out for fireworks? How is Bill’s infection? Did he take all his meds for it? I hope. When will Tom be home? And Elin?

I was thinking earlier how much fun the 4th of July was when I was a kid. The smaller cities pulled out all the stops and joined our town for a HUGH parade and all kinds of fun.

And we are in the middle of a monstrous downpour! I still have tubs and crates against the fence, but it looks like I will have to move them farther away from it so they are under the roof.

Bill is fully recovered from his infection. We haven’t heard from Tom; he’ll be home tomorrow. Since we didn’t get a call, he was working all week and not in the hospital! Elen called and said they were evacuated, but everything is fine. I guess tomorrow they’ll have to work like made to get the camp in decent shape for more campers arriving on Sunday.

DP got some fireworks at Walmart to shoot off later. Nothing major like you’d get at the big outlets in South Carolina, just a “variety pack.” There aren’t any big fireworks shows nearby. Monroe, I guess. There are usually a lot in the neighborhood, though. I told the boys they could walk around and see what happens, as long as they stay on the sidewalk.
