Happy Fourth! People are certainly celebrating in the neighborhood. For the last three days and nights. Usually it tapers off after 9 pm but the fireworks were going strong at midnight and all the way to 2 am. I’m guessing here but I suspect it’s not kids but the adults doing the fireworks.
I managed a walk this morning along Riverland Road. It was shady for most of the walk and at 7:30 am, it wasn’t unbearably hot. I’d like to think I’m building up my stamina but I was glad when I turned around and headed back to the house.
John and Joel came over around 6 pm and I grilled hot dogs, toasted the buns and had a myriad of fixings: sauerkraut, chili, onions, sweet relish, mustard, ketchup and mayo. John made an excellent Cole slaw and he brought cut up watermelon. Joel brought a strawberry New York style cheesecake for dessert.
I chased them all home around 8 pm. I needed to make a blog entry and I’m tired. Actually, Joel needed to pick up Keith at the airport around 9:45 tonight and he needed to go home and tend to their dogs. I love pets but they are certainly limiting.
Tomorrow is my appointment (3:30 pm) with my primary to see what’s up with my urine sample and whether he will clear me or not for surgery. I’ll also head to the opticians to see what I can do about my glasses. They were closed the day before the fourth and tomorrow will be the first time they are open since the weekend. How often do we get a four day weekend?
Tonight will be a noisy one.
Stay tuned!
