One of the activities people here just brought me a little 6" American flag on and 11" stick. I'm guessing it was made in China. ^_^

One more reason to celebrate our freedoms,
the freedom to wave Chinese made flags.

Sigh, I'm not at all pleased with the way
things are going, in the USA.

I went across the street, to chat with the guy over
there. Says there will be a LOT of people here,
later in the day. Steve had a beer in hand, and
big of a smile showing through his full beard. I
suspect there will be some wild activity. Might
even be some nudity and dancing.

Reportedly my grandfather started every Sunday morning off with his
favorite John Phillips Souza selections. Just as well he died before I
was born.

Grandpa would twist a few Black Cat firecrackers together and toss
them in a bedroom, sparking. . It was a hoot. His daughter and family
came to visit, not to sleep all day

We had barbecued ribs for lunch and one of the CNA's gave me three slices of a wonderful strawberry layer cake with strawberry icing. I still have a slice left because another CNA gave me cookies. 8-)

I'm not sure. When I got home yesterday from dinner,
and visit a friend in the nursing home, there were
just the usual cars out front, and no one in the
yard. I went in, and went to bed. Might have been
some major nudity, and I missed it.

We had smoked chicken, 3 kinds of potato salad, pickled eggs, deviled
eggs, home made baked beans with bacon on top, cold sliced tomatoes, and
I made choc-chip ice cream and served it over warmed choc-chip cookies.
yummmmmm!

Ribs, beans, potato salad and chocolate cake. We finished off the
evening with a few hundred dollars worth of illegal fireworks. (mostly
mortars and "cakes")


We stayed home in the nice cool AC and watched the national fireworks
show on TV!

Watching other people's fireworks is like watching other people having
sex. There may be some amusement but it is nothing like doing it
yourself.


OTOH, I've seen the national fireworks in person when I was a kid, plus
have seen the local fireworks many times. The heat, bugs, crowds, and
did I mention the heat are deterrents to my former enthusiasm. I can't
do the heat for very long these days.
