Happy 4th, Sharon, and to everyone else! Much to be thankful for today.
Sharon - since you're done with preparations, care to pop on over here for an hour or ten????
I've been a total slug this week and the house is a wreck, no preps at all for today's BBQ, and my dad arrives for his annual 6-hour visit in 5 hours, LOL. Guess I'd best get moving.
Aqua aerobics - that sounds like a great class, though I think I'd be intmidated by a senior citizen who could run me into the ground! I bet the water is much kinder on joints and your back. Good for you, sticking to it!
No word from thank you so I guess he won't be home for the holiday. I'm chilled about that - nothing to do for it.
Wee is in UT whitewater rafting now - got word yesterday that they survived the backpacking portion and everyone made it to the summit - not sure how high the mountain was but it's in the Rockies so I'm thinking it was fairly significant, LOL. I baked something like 10 dozen cookies yesterday and sent them priority mail so hopefully he'll get them at the next mail drop. Boo was *incredibly* helpful yesterday. I was so tickled - I'd pop a batch in the oven, set the timer, go back to work, and he'd holler to let me know when the buzzer went off. Consistently, every single time. Not a burned cookie in the batch (major miracle in my house). I think he was proud of himself too for being able to help out.
So... I'm off to start potato and macaroni salads, marinate meat, clean bathrooms and kitchen, and hopefully talk husband into running up to get some chairs for the back porch so Dad and his wife have somewhere to sit!
I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th and you're able to enjoy your families today.
