Wow, here it is the 1st of July already.... The 4th is on Wednesday so I hope everyone has a nice holiday. Hubby, Mom, and I are going to a local festival and then we will watch the fireworks later on that evening. There are a lot of fesitivals in our area this time of year that we like to go. Hopefully hubby won't be called into work since he has two days off this week instead of one.

I'm going down to Columbus tomorrow to see my mother-in-law. She is in the hospital down there, she got admitted last night. I guess she was helping her daughter move and paint. She forgot to take her meds with her and was eating the wrong types of foods. I talked to her earlier this evening and she sounds great. She has had several health problems in the past so they are keeping her an extra couple of days. They will be running more tests on her. She was yelling at the nurses so she's obviously feeling better. Steelers, I will honk once I pass your neck of the woods LOL!

I hope everyone has a great, happy and safe 4th!!! I am going to start helping my son pack his apartment. He is moving at the end of the month, to Northern Illinois U to work on his Masters...I will miss him so much.... Sad

hi all

Please, this year, lets remember what the 4th is about too. Freedom has never been free. If you are proud of your freedom, thank a veteran

Happy and safe 4th everyone. I only wish that it wasn't in the middle of the week! I think that we should have it on Fridays or Mondays and then we can have a nice 3 day weekend. I hate the split - 2 days at work 1 off 2 days at work! I really can't enjoy the day off! I don't think that many peolpe can. But I will be going to my sisters' for a picnic and then doing the early to bed thing. Be safe all! Mishele - I hope that you mother-in-law is better when you see her.

skydivr,

I couldn't agree with you more Smile

I'm especially proud this year since my stepson just went into the military.

I'll be working this 4th, but my son's going to have the cookout here. Then he and his girlfriend will take my youngest to the park for fireworks. My other 2 boys have plans with their friends that night.

Morningstar, I know how you must feel about your son moving. All my kids are within 1/2 hour of me. One son just graduated from high school and will be going to the community college here for a year and then to the U. of Toledo next year. I'm not looking forward to it.

You must be so proud of your stepson, Mishele. Skydiver, you're absolutely right. Sometimes we get so caught up in the festivities that we forget what we are actually celebrating. Thanks for reminding us.

Thanks!! I'm too short to run like a gazelle..maybe a kitten! I was a sprinter in high school and college, I'm trying to stop worrying about speed and worry more about endurance. I'm so lazy!!!!!
