Another night of little sleep – but as the day wears on I am improving. I think the cough syrup I’m taking makes me loopy. But then, I’m probably loopy already! I knew I wasn’t up to full steam when I wasn’t hungry for breakfast or lunch. I did eat a small bit. The welcome center at church had a pretty display of red, white, and blue. I was talking to the kids in Sunday School about American’s birthday and the Declaration of Independence. I was sort of surprised that they didn’t know about that – but then, they are ages 3 to 7 so I shouldn’t be surprised!
I hurried and cut the grass before it got too warm and I was glad to get that done. There was a nice breeze. I took my time, took a few breaks, and actually felt pretty good when it was done. I walked around and took a few photos of my flowers when I finished.
Di went to Idlewild today with her daughter Shannon, and sent me some photos. It looked like a lovely day to be there. My niece Sarah and her family plan to go tomorrow. Here are a few photos from Di.
July 3 – What kind of fireworks did people have when you were a youth? “Beautiful colored ones. Also sparklers. We had to go up into the cow pasture to put off the fire crackers. Some were very loud & disturbed our grandmother. I think it bothered our dad as it brought memories of the war that he wanted to forget.”
