Have a happy 4th

I suspect our American friends are too busy having parties to post much here.

Have a fabulous Independence Day!

Actually, I mowed the lawn this morning because it finally stopped raining long enough to do it without leaving muddy tire tracks. Now if only the temperature will rise above 60F maybe we can have our barbeque & fireworks and not have to wear winter coats. At least we shouldn't run out of ice trying to keep the beer cold.

4th what?

Think of it as a celebration of a successful Guy Fawkes operation.

More like too busy sleeping. It was six in the morning here when IA posted his OP, i was just going to bed.

Since the 4th falls on a Saturday my family and I probably won't be doing much of anything until tomorrow. Nothing like sunday cookouts.

Everybody was celebrating the 4th yesterday, so we joined in. Boating, drinking, fireworks, etc. Here's some pics of the kids having fun before dark (when the fireworks started):

Happy Independence Day!

Heading off to the lake in about in an hour, this will be my daughters' first Tent Camping Trip

To put a Total War spin on things, just remember that if William Congreve hadn't invented those darn rocket ships, we wouldn't celebrate this quite the same way ...
