A little rainy here, followed by sunshine, steam and muggy wet heat. Blech.
Going to Ikea in Houston to purchase latex mattress for DD and DSIL. Will take to them later. DH has never been to Ikea. I think if you follow the arrows on the floor and look at EVERYTHING it is walking 3 miles. Poor DH. BWA-HA-HA

Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY to all of you in the United States of America today!

The Fourth of July always tugs at my heartstrings. It is by far more than picnics and fireworks.

So many people seem to have forgotten -- or sadly never learned -- how exceptional our country is in the world. Not "we're-better-let's-lord-it-over-other-cultures" exceptional because we are not, but as part of a viable experiment in self-government not seen elsewhere now or ever before, we are exceptional in the history of the world.

To keep the USA exceptional, each one of us should remember every year on this special day to "pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor" toward upholding the documents that cement our exceptionally.

I hate this holiday, my kennel is between 2 country clubs. Each one tries to out do the other with fireworks. For hours tonight it would sound like a battle field. I am most likey the only person who is happy its pouring all weekend ruining the fireworks.The dogs get so stress from the noise. I alway have a full kennel this time of year.

Poor puppies! My Great Pyrenees goes nuts barking and hiding under the deck. I can just imagine her X 10 or X 20..... Gheesh.

Bay more like x50, because we had heavy rain it wasn't too bad. Macys still did theirs but are far enough away that sounds wasn't bad.

In our town of 17,500 people... we get 360* view of FIREWORKS, BOMBS, GUNFIRE , SPARKLERS, ETC.. Everyone has a BLAST as everyone tries to outdo their neighbors. Just as good if not better as any large town official fireworks event, and all we have to do is just go out the front ( or back ) door and enjoy the displays. Quite a few started to sharpen their manrksmanship on July 1 and continuing their skills even on this morning.
