The Fourth

I trust everybody had a good Fourth of July.

We had a busy day. It started with a trip to the local parade, then over to some friends for lunch and a swim. In the evening we got together with some neighbors in the cul-de-sac for a barbecue, with the traditional fireworks viewing capping it all off. I daresay it was a fairly typical Fourth of July experience, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's a good life I lead, and I feel pretty lucky.

I made ice cream again this year, but this time people actually ate some. This year I opted for vanilla with chopped up Snickers bars and toffee bits. Yum.

Today I am going to loaf. I might straighten up the garage in a little bit but I think that will be the limit of my productivity for the day.
