Happy Fourth of July to all my US readers! (And belated Canada Day greetings to to my friends up north!)
I'm planning a backyard picnic- grilled burgers and fries, watermelon and S'mores- with my family. Then my dh and ds bought a boatload of little fireworks- not then big blasters but the small ground, sparkling sort. Fingers crossed they don't set the yard on fire!
How are you spending the holiday?
Cheers!

RANCHER'S REDEMPTION- Silhouette Romantic Suspense- Oct 2008
Hi Beth!
We had a relatively quiet day. We visited mom at the hospital, then we went to the big Fourth celebration in the city park. It's always fun (and good food!). We saw WALL*E (Great movie!!) and then I went back to see mom last night (but she was sleeping). No fireworks -- got rained out. Didn't stop the neighbors, though...UGH -- way too late for that, like 11pm.
Did your yard survive intact?
The rest of our weekend looks rainy and blah. Hopefully, that'll mean writing time for me! :-) Days like that, DH is mostly content to watch TV, and DD calls a friend. Otherwise, we run around like crazy.

Fun Fourth!
Hi Jodie-
Yep, the yard survived! We had a threat of rain, but it all stayed north of us. I went out for just a minute to see the carnage of burned out tanks (the fireworks kind) on our driveway, some still smoldering. But the mosquitoes were out in force so I didn't linger. Neighbors were shooting a few sky rockets so I saw those.
Earlier we roasted marshmallows over our grill and made s'mores. The chocolate got melty while waiting so the hot marshmallow got it even messier. Mmm...talk about a fun, messy treat! I had melted chocolate dripping everywhere! (Gave me some ideas for a fun love scene for an upcoming book though... Wink.)
