ETA: I was joking with hubby when he told me he was going to knock the chimney down... to leave it up so maybe a rhino or an elephant can come down it and go all spaztic in our room.
My son, the one that just got back from his deployment, and his wife will be up from NC tomorrow. Thursday we'll head up north to a lttle ttown called Frankfort with most of my husband's family and spend the fouth with his parent's on Lake Michigan. We do it every year and it's always a blast. And this year we'll have Alex and Kristin so it'll be even better.That sounds so wonderful Linda! I know you will have a wonderful time with so much to celebrate. Enjoy every minute!all the villages here chip in for a big 4th holiday celebration in a nearby village. They have the parade and a small carnival in the school grounds and a ginormous fireworks. This year the school got a HUGE new playground installed and it will be open for buisness on the 4th .. When Ally and Jakies dad was 1 the same school had just installed one of those big woooden playgrounds. its gone and replaced now.
I like to have a quiet day maybe cook hot dogs and laze on the hammock. Last year though I started crying during the fireworks because I just miss Lizzie so much. She loved the fireworks every year and I just couldnt stand it last year.
I'm so damn sad these days. I miss my sister, and I miss my little girls and I just want to cry.

The chimney did have a cap, but it blew off during one of the big windy storms we had beginning of the year. Hubby likes to procrastinate... so...
I have a friend who has a barbeque every July 4th. Will be there.
Joonie-
Hope you have a good day.
Our 4th will be nostalgic. We're back in the small town where we lived before we retired and hit the road fulltiming. The 4th starts off with a pancake breakfast downtown then there's a 4th of July parade, bbq at our friend's ranch with fireworks. It will be a long, fun filled day with friends that we haven't seen for several years. I can't wait....Hope everyone remembers our freedoms - Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

well I don't celebrate the 4th of July either..but I don't think that really matters, LisaOnline.
Pin...yeah..should be a good time..looking forward to it.
Sounds like everyone has great plans for the most part. :)
We are going out to the desert to celebrate with DH's cousins. We're supposed to go riding dirt bikes and 4-wheelers. I have a feeling I'll be getting hurt. LOL I'm not actually going to ride alone, there's no way I'd be able to hold up the bike. My wrists are probably going to fall off at some point!! ;)
Sounds like everyone has some great plans for the 4th of July!
I hope everyone has an enjoyful day!
I have to functions to cater...one a cocktail party for 70 and also a dinner for 45. Neither group are celebrating the American July 4th. I think they are just regular mid winter comforters.
Spring is not too far off as there are some lambs AND daffodils about. Now that is worth celebrating here.

The back story for these kids is moving. Their mom's car was hit by a drunk driver and she lay in a coma for eight months. The kids would sing to her at her bedside, and they'd also sing for others in the hospital. She came out of the coma and is in a wheelchair now, and she's so proud of her kids, and she should be, they're really something. Such beautiful voices, mature stage presence, awesome harmony. It's really worth a watch!
Nice.
