The Fourth of July is on my list of favorite holidaze. I don't like winter holidaze. They are cold and the weather sucks and it just depresses me. Summer holidaze are my Christmas! Three of them, each to celebrate the USA and think about the brave men & women who have served and are serving our country. And beer- there is beer and sun and lake and good food and friends.
Not so much this year. There was a bit o sun and the day started out great! The girls and I swam, then went to the fireworks stand (which I have not been to in more than 10 years) and purchased snakes, smoke bombs, big ass sparklers, and best of all- chicken butts. You know- you light them and colored eggs come out of their butts. Just the phrase 'chicken butt' sort of makes me giggle inside.
After that, we came home for a rest/nap because we knew we were going to be up late for the fireworks at the park. We went to Mimi's for our cook out, and all of the sudden had to bring it inside because nature decided to have her own fireworks.
It came a big 'en (that's what we call a big thunderstorm). I love thunderstorms, but I was hoping it would pass through by fireworks time. It did not. I was hopeful that they would reschedule for tonight but......
I woke up to rain and thunder. Hopefully it will pass through and the sun will come out and it will be so steamy we can't breathe. THAT's the July I know!
The dogs are depressed. Daisy has been with us for 3 days and she misses her parents (my parents). She won't eat. She knows something is up (they moved).
In the meantime, I'm going to scrub this house and do the massive amount of laundry that has piled up over the week. Maybe, just maybe---- there will be a nap involved if the rain sticks in!

Damn, I would have loved to trade your thundering and lightening for our 95 degree weather here in California. I'm not a fan of the heat...at all.
It still sounds your 4th was nice!
Damn rain!
At least you got a nap though :)
Girl, it rained here too. We were supposed to go down the road for bbq and fun stuff, but it rained cats and dogs! It rained and rained after months of hotter than a pistol weather, dangit. I feel ya. I hope the rest of your summer is lake and beer worthy.
DARN-it-all!!!!!!!!! I just knew you were prob. at the lake...I did try to call you though while I was in A town. I was there for five days my dear. Wish we could've seen you guys. I was SO sad about fireworkings as well......we did do the small ones at Gammy's though.
Hey Mama! I thought of you over our holiday weekend... we were at my parents' pool & it dawned on me that we needed some koozies for our beverlies. I was waiting to buy a Mamalicious koozie...
Damn Mother Nature! Were you at the Lake all weekend?
I miss Texoma!
