Happy Fourth Of July!!

You couldn't have asked for a better day for a parade. The sky was

so clear and the clouds so white and wispy. Lots of people, not a

single person we saw did we know. Sitting on chairs in front of the

Post Office, Geary and I and the dog. Police, fire trucks, High School

bands, Queens and their Courts, an ex-large group of Vote for Me and

Change the World Democrats...where were the Republicans? Some

people shouting Obama, that in a distance sounded like YO Mama!

What a hoot! We laughed at that one.........

Gingerman, the old fart's band, and then the horses. Last but not least

the street cleaner.

Just have to love the small town parades!

Our Church float for the Rainforest Adventure. Nothing personal, but I

think we had the best in the parade. Epiphany....I've had a couple of

those. Actually its a church.

Afterwards we went to the Northside and got sandwiches from the Deli

and ate them in the park. A perfect day all around...later the fireworks.

These are the things that made up my Fourth...God Bless America!!!

By the Fourth of July

Look at my garden! I've already got green beans, zucchinis, tomatoes,

eggplants and summer squash just ripening in the sun. Love my

Earthboxes, everything is self contained, just plant, water and

watch them grow. No weeds to pull, no critters eating my stuff

(too close to the house and the dog).

Its amazing to me that June is over and the Fourth of July is here.

Got plans to watch the parade in town, fireworks in Saugatuck and

an Art Show in the park.

Pretty much a full weekend of fun and sun. We had the biggest storms

yesterday. Lots of wind damage east of us, torrential rain, flooding,

all the things that come with summer storms.

I'm also getting myself geared up for the beginning of VBS.

I hope I survive it...I'll let you know. So far its taking up a lot

more time than I thought it would. But how can you do a reasonable

craft in under 15 minutes? It takes me that long to get started!

Have a safe and happy holiday!
