Herself:
Monday: Swam and leg still looks
good. Talked with Bee, groceries,
stopped into store with camera, uploaded photos, read, looked at BBQ’s for the
Friday meeting with G. I wonder where we
would keep it. Portland daughter called
and thrilled me.
Us: Together we managed to get Grumpy to
the dealer for his oil, lube, change out the steering wheel, paintless dent removal
on the fender where I hit the trash can, replace broken cup holder, fix the
seat, and most importantly, fix the leak.
A drip a day leak that annoys both of us. (He did the same thing with the Toyota and the trash can so I don't feel quite so bad.)

One year we drove over near Shelter Island, walked onto the
island for the fireworks, and hitchhiked off with a friend. That worked pretty well tho traffic still
slowed us down. Walking onto the island
carrying the heavy stuff this year doesn’t seem a really good idea. I told him that we could drive down to the
beach, leave the car, and take a bus down later to watch the fireworks. We would still meet with horrific traffic
when getting out of the beach itself later.
He suggested that we could go park on top of a hill. No close up and personal there.
Himself would like to see the fireworks, but he doesn’t want
to get caught in traffic. He says he has
to be functional at work the next day. I
would like to sit right, square underneath the blasts when they go off and
have my ear drums vibrating for days.
Perhaps over the next two days, we can find a compromise that amuses
both of us.
Hubby would like to take the boat out and watch them from offshore and I am so sick of this hot weather I could care less if I see them at all!
ReplyDeleteI love them too! Trying to think of a good place with minimal traffic. HA!
ReplyDeleteI'm not even tempted. I'll be trying to keep my little dog calm during the fireworks. Home it is for us. There does seem to be a lot of excitement this year about the 4th.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do something special for the 4th, but I'm afraid we'll just be stick in the muds this year. I love your balloon picture. It really raises my spirits.
ReplyDeleteThe balloon photo is so festive. Just returned from our small town's fireworks on the beach.
ReplyDeleteLightening and light showers kept me in our van for awhile. But the aftermath was a delicious and rare cool breeze for this time of year on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Fireworks not as elaborate as bigger neighboring city's, but nice and traffic was bearable. Happy Independence day.
We will be home before the TV in the cool air watching the fireworks on TV. Too old to hang out with the crowd. Dianne
