Happy 232nd Birthday, America!

Fireworks, parades, and family get-togethers, all in honor of the birth of our nation.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe * Fourth of July * celebration!

* Happy Fourth of July to all *

It's just after dark and I can hear fireworks rumbling in the distance.
It's Fourth of July eve, I guess you could call it.
There were outdoor concerts in two nearby towns. I hear the towns' dueling *~ fireworks ~* display over the river.
But the four of us are not out watching them. The weather is great and maybe we should have gone to see them. But instead we're home chillin,' bloggin' and basically hangin' around.
Kid 1 is watching her new favorite TV show, "House." It's practically the only one she watches.

She does enjoy watching The Weather Channel, however. It has been a fascination of hers since she was very small. Oh, and she just reminded me how much she likes The History Channel and Discovery.

We are a very quiet family, it's fair to say.
