Not much to say really. Our fourth was both traditional and wet - very wet, which caused the day to be a bit of a downer. I won't bore you with the details. . . well just a few. Because we had no family to be with, we went and spent time with our ward (church) family. I always feel like a stray cat when I attend the 4th of July breakfast here in Btown. Those that attended breakfast have no family in town and nothing to do. No boating trips or fun vacations. We are a bunch of strays with no where to go. Most every one splits out of Btown during the holidays. Thankfully the downpour waited until after breakfast, unlike last year. I can handle playing outside with a little rain, but this was outrageous. So we made a DVD run and brought home some entertainment. What a lame way to spend a 4th of July holiday. And although the rain slowed, it was still too wet outside to do our own fireworks at dusk. Booo. It's holidays like these that I wished we lived close to our families.
And so I keep reminding myself: at least we have each other. At least we have each other. Thank goodness for that.

Well Anj, all the other kids were off doing their own 4th of July celebrations, so Dad and I had a very quiet day ourselves. We could have been strays together.:)
