I have yet to see it! Weather was quite WARM here in Texas as opposed to the normal HOT!!! We spent the day helping Mike and Amber move Quadville from the apartment here in Irving to their wonderful 'Forever Home' in Dallas!! A 'Dallas' address is just SO classy, don't cha know!!! I saw fireworks on the third - first I've seen in a long time! Let me be honest here. Once you've seen a good fireworks show - it's all a repeat. Just more trouble and bother. Maybe that's just me.

So many connections...and now as you read, you have a connection to your sweet giver as well. <br /><br />Our 4th of July was <i>h</i>o<i>t</i> and <i>h</i>u<i>m</i>i<i>d</i>! Last year the girls and I begged off of the family reunion. This year Ron wanted us to go. "But it's only going to be 88 today," he said. Ummm...is that the good news or the bad news? So we went, and it was hot and sticky. If this tells you anything, I only took THREE pictures. Normally, I can take THREE pictures of a plate of food, but a whole <i>event</i> and only three pictures? I just couldn't get motivated to do anything but sit and talk. If only the 4th of July was in October...Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-18659241835469197702013-07-05T20:00:32.323-04:002013-07-05T20:00:32.323-04:00Hi Vee

Our little schnauzer is terribly frightened of fireworks, but quite happy here. <br /><br />Sam is exceptionally brave to have gone through what he has just experienced and want to watch that movie. I guess he wanted to remind himself of just how fortunate he is????<br /><br />Hope you can post some photos of the fireworks.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397087180636686873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-78821777638762903062013-07-05T18:13:12.186-04:002013-07-05T18:13:12.186-04:00It's been rain, rain, and more rain here.

No fireworks allowed in our area due to the risk of fire. We had a short 5 minute downpour and then the rest of the day was wonderful! The grandkids went in a kiddie pool. played foam horseshoes, built with legos and the adults all ate way too much food..lol!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-15374268582937751422013-07-05T16:42:18.950-04:002013-07-05T16:42:18.950-04:00I'm a new reader of Kim's blog, but I'...I'm a new reader of Kim's blog, but I'm sure I found her through yours. How kind to receive the book you wanted. Bloggers are a wonderful bunch, mostly. <br /><br />I had to laugh at your comment yesterday about me being a "people person." I am not in the least. But once in a very long while, I enjoy being in a crowd of people - like the fireworks on Canada Day.

We watched it a while ago. Quite an amazing story!<br />We did catch the Capital Fourth and some of the Macy's coverage. Despite the downpours we were having we did hear a lot of fireworks off in the distance.<br />Hope your humidity (& our rain) hit the road soon.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-140965521973167322013-07-05T10:32:49.802-04:002013-07-05T10:32:49.802-04:00We had rain, rain and more rain.

I can&#...Thanks for pointing me to Kim's blog. I can't wait to check it out further! Sounds like you "muddled through" your 4th like so many w/ the interesting weather. (Interesting choice in movies - LOL) Around here, there was a great chance for rain. It's our tradition to attend an outdoor concert w/ a picnic & then stay for fireworks -- 11 of us in all. Except, this year, the chance of rain was high, two of us were under the weather, one had to work, and one had a dislocated knee cap, making it difficult to get around in a crowd, or hurry to leave if a downpour occurred... So, we opted to do a spur of the moment pizza party at my parents instead. It was fun -- but we missed our tradition greatly. Especially when we ended up at home early to hear all of the incredibly noisy neighborhood fireworks. (Guess we didn't know what we were missing these last 15 years of our TRADITION!) I'll take the big fireworks show any day. Having them this close to home was a little unnerving. Rumor has it there's a crater in our backyard where the neighbor's fireworks landed. I haven't been out (in the rain) to check that out yet...
