We're enjoying a quiet long 4th of July weekend here in suburbia. It's nice to have a few days off to just hang out, especially since it took so long for real summer weather to arrive. I've been cooking some nice meals, doing a bit of yard work (featuring my yearly battle with the front hedge...not sure who's winning at this point), catching up on some DVDs and baseball games (Let's go Red Sox, clap, clap, CLAP, clap, clap!), etc. Best purchase of the weekend was a homemade blueberry pie from the local farm stand. Yummy!Tomorrow, of course, we celebrate the 230th birthday of the good ole USofA. Along with Independence Day, we commemorate the 180th anniversary of the deaths of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams - two American presidents who actually understood words like patriotism, freedom and the rule of law. Here's hoping the Constitution survives the current administration so that we can mark many, many more Independence Days.
Happy Birthday, America!

I'll second that...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA. Me and Molly and her latest beau are planning to grill today, drink a few beers and just enjoy the day, nothing special going on here either. And if the clouds disappear, maybe a dip in the pool. So, I'm here to wish you and the hubby a Happy 4th!
Sigh...we spent the day with no electricity. But it came back on just as Geoff and Isabelle headed down to the Loveland fireworks.
Hugs to you and Bob....Happy Fourth!
