More on July 4th...


Well, it was another holiday that didn't feel like a holiday. (I'm getting a little worried, because none of the holidays celebrated in this house have felt like holidays, and many of them have barely been celebrated, if celebrated at all!). So, here it is July 4th. Because the kids are flying in from South Carolina this afternoon, we don't make any plans for the evening fireworks - not knowing exactly what they will want to do or how tired they will be. We take them to Spaghetti Factory for an early dinner. Then, we drop them off at their mom's ... we go back home. I decide since there's less traffic in downtown Redlands, I'll go take pictures of some places downtown for my "Our Town" photo wall. I guess those will serve as my 4th of July pictures this year, cuz I don't have any others! When I get back from my photo shoot, we take the dog for a walk to the community field - a few fireworks are beginning around the neighborhood. At 9:00 p.m., when the show is starting at the University, we try watching from our bedroom, but too many trees block our view. So, we end up watching Stars Wars: The Return of the Jedi... and that was the 4th of July around here. (I better start planning for Labor Day now!)
