For the first time in years, I'm not spending the 4th of July selling fireworks...
Instead, I'm staying home, being around for Mom. Even though the reason isn't what I would have chosen, there are a few silver linings. Not spending two days on my feet for the better part of eighteen hours is one of them. Not driving home in the middle of the night after two eighteen-plus hour days and sleeping on a blow up air mattress is another. An extra day off from work is a third. :0)
I will miss seeing the friends I've made though--shout-out here to Robin and Sarah who will never see this...
It's the end of an era and it's kinda sad. DH posits that fireworks will be banned in the state of Texas (maybe the nation) within a decade due to the constant / increasing drought conditions--at least in terms of being available for purchase by all and sundry to light themselves. I'm sure fireworks shows will live on.
Well...
That got kinda maudlin and that wasn't my intent.
I hope you've enjoyed your long weekend as I have enjoyed mine.
Take care and catch you next Monday!
