Happy 4th!
I made my morning walk this morning and managed 1.3 miles. The humidity is continuing to weigh everyone down. It begs the question how early do you have to get up to walk without wilting?
I had a party to go to for the 4th at Catherines and she asked me to bring an appetizer. I spent the afternoon making cucumber sandwiches. I followed a recipe that said add 1/2 cup mayonnaise. After I got everything fixed, I felt the mayo overwhelmed everything. However, they must have been edible because the party put a pretty good dent in the sandwiches.
Catherine prepared hotdogs and hamburgers – a very 4th of July tradition. She went all out with American flags, banners, table cloth, and blue and white napkins.
It was good to get together and it’s always good to catch up with everyone’s’ summer plans. Of course, we spent a good deal of time on our ailments. We have become our grandparents.
All indications are we will have a lot of fireworks. They were certainly popping off at Catherine’s and they are starting here at the house. I feel for Tucker who has to go hide in the closet. Maybe there’s room for me!
I’m still waiting for my replacement oven glass. I keep having to reschedule the Sears appointment to install the glass that hasn’t arrived.
I did make some headway with packing but most will wait until Saturday after I wash clothes. There’ll be a lot I need to wash that I need to take on the trip.
Stay safe, don’t hold any M80’s in your hand while lit.
Stay tuned!
