Happy 4th
 
Well, we lost the other thread, so enjoy whatever you're doing.

We've been to the water park and have just had a BBQ. Going to play in the garden next.

Yorkie is having a BBQ. How about everyone else?

Doing nothing except making the most of not going to work. Minimum movements all day:lol: Plenty of already prepared food and drink, no housework (ignoring it) no laundry or yardwork. Trash TV and cheesy movies and naps are the order of the day.

Back to work tomorrow:thumbdown:

Happy 4th:amen:

Lucky bugger. I'm retired so I don't even get a holiday today. :frown:

However.. We got back from our ten day vacation in Newfoundland on Tuesday, so we're catching up on the weeding and mowing. I love Newfoundland so much I decided to live by Newfoundland Time from now on. So, I'll have my first glass of wine at 3:30 (5pm Newfoundland) and off to bed at 8:30 (10 o'clock Newfoundland.) :thumbup:

Happy 4th July.

I judged our local 4th July parade today and another brit friend Mc'd it. I'm not sure everyone saw the irony but we did!

I'm trapped on the couch, eating home-made fudge and watching a 5 season re-run of Charlies Angels.

Took our dog for a walk along the Hudson River (on NJ side), now vegging on the sofa watching the final instalment of "Lord of the Rings" (for about the 10th time). Going to venture out a little later for some dinner and to see the fireworks.:)

Just got back from camping, too tired to do anything right now, maybe see some fireworks later.
