HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

It's the 4th of July and sticking with tradition of the last few years I took my Christmas Lights off of the house. Knowing very well that I will be itching to put them back up in October I could leave them up year round but I figure that would be just plain laziness. I do have a nifty extend a pole Debbie got for me last year to put the lights up and it works good, also good at taking the lights down. The only lights left up, yes they aren't all down yet are the one in the bushes/trees which no one will see only if you look really really hard.Those will stay up. Someone needs to look at the tree that hard to see my lights have been left up then that person doesn't have much to do.

Yes, it's the 4th of July. We had the fireworks show on the 2nd which was practically in out back yard. The only other fireworks show we'll see is what is on TV. Supper tonight will be the traditional burgers on the grill, potato salad and ice tea and a freshly baked cake, eating out under our canopy on the back deck with music coming through my new outdoor speakers. Surrounded by my lovely wife, Debbie, Step-son Ryan, and Clarence & Sylvia (Dad & Mom). The only thing that would make this perfect is for my two children (Paul & Brian) their wives (Jeri & Jennifer) and children (Jonathan, Mark,Sabrina, Annabelle) and Debbie's children and significant others (Eric & Jennifer, Amy & Chris and Katy & Doug) be here also. Someday.
