Uh oh another national holiday weekend looms on the horizon. Curses! This doesn’t make me joyful. Didn’t we just have one? (” No Mom, I don’t mean Mother’s Day.” ) Personally I’d prefer they weren’t so close together. I need time to relax and recuperate from the stress of the last holiday. I don’t have a grill which is a long weekend requirement. Even if I did I’d be very nervous about blowing up the house, myself, and my guests. Speaking of “guests” I don’t have those either , which brings me to my next problem – the stress of finding guests. I wonder if they have an “available guests” category on Craig’s List? And would they work for free or require a salary and health care?
I’m also not a parade person although Beefy Boy sees them as an opportunity to get attention especially if I put him in a monogrammed hat. I view them as crowded and too colorful. I long for the giant inflated Mickey Mouse from the Macy’s Day parade. No Mickey no me. Bands and Boy Scout troops marching down the street wreak havoc with traffic . What if someone invites me over for a July 4th party and I can’t get there? I think I dreamt this and woke up in a sweat longing for corn on the cob.
The holiday is getting closer and closer and my stress level is mounting with each passing day. I’m out of meds but consider buying a grill instead as a symbol of personal growth and to help pick up the economy. But if you are having a picnic or party I’m available.

GAIL MORNING, YOU ARE FUNNY! I’M INVITED OUT, SORRY
)…TRACK
Well Track, what about me girl? I’m happy for you but I’ll be sitting around like a lump!
we always host the get togethers, but I have done it for so long that it comes as 2nd nature. The 4th of July one is the one I love best though as its the one where everyone comes eats and hangs out (play horseshoes. hillbygolf,and later watch fireworks, that my husband does) by midnight everyones wiped out and ready to go home to bed.If your in western Mich.by Holland drop in.
Thanks for the invitation, if I was in the neighborhood you could put me on your guest list!! Sounds like fun. Midnight you say!? Yikes, I’d be asleep in the potato salad.
not with our fireworks way to loud and bright
I was in bed so early on the 4th of july, I was awake at 3:00 a.m. on the 5th.

Well at least you missed the majority of the 4th – the 5th isn’t as expectation filled!
