Happy Soggy Fourth of July




Happy 4th of July!! It is cool and rainy in Iowa as you can tell by the pictures. We have no plans for today.The fireworks were last night. If you stood out in the road, by our mailbox, you could see them. Nothing happening in Dodge today to celebrate our great country.Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I grew up in a town where the 4th was a big celebration. HUGE carnival, parade, craft fair, and fireworks over the Mississippi river...beautiful!! It was always hot and sunny too. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty disgusted with our "summer" weather.Our winters are long and cold.I want HOT , HOT, HOT and SUN!!! I will be pleased with the next electric bill though. I'm spending the day baking cookies for church tomorrow and watching the Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci Fi channel. A big Happy Birthday shout out to my sister-in-law Marilyn!! Your card is on the way...I realized Thursday that, "HOLY CRAP!! It's JULY! Luckily, we will ALL have a PEACEFUL holiday thanks to the past and present men and women of our Armed Forces.Thank you, for your bravery and dedication to our great country! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
