The Only Way to Celebrate
What's an American holiday without food? Here's what we're having today:
- barbecued steak
- Fish Eye salad
- corn on the cob
- spinach salad
- twice-baked potatoes
- Jell-o pudding dirt cups
Independence Day
The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

Update
You will be relieved to know that Curly's hand, after she began her course of antibiotics, is looking much better, with hardly any redness and swelling. The dog is still alive, though I think only one person in the house still loves him.
Actually, he was probably loved by only one person even before the "incident."

Half Empty or Half Full?
You tell me: Is the glass half empty or half full?
I took the day off from work today to hang out with Curly and her parents. I have the day off tomorrow too, for Independence Day. Of course, that's two days of pay out the window, since I'm only paid for what I work.
My sister in law apparently expressed the wish that she could avoid going to Sunday School and Relief Society meetings at church yesterday (she's used to being in the Nursery during that time). She got her wish, by spending four hours at the emergency room waiting for someone to look at Curly's dog bite.
Next week, in a practically unprecedented mid-year change, our church meeting time will change from 9 am to 11 am. So, I get to sleep in a bit, but that also means less time to take a nap in the afternoon.
