Fourth of July

What’s everyone going to be doing today? My dad’s birthday is on July 4th and I’m spending time with family. Hope everyone has a happy fourth!
 
Hope you enjoy the day, @DaisyRose.

Today is my first day off of work in over a week, so I'm going to take it easy, seeking calm and quiet. And catching up on lots of laundry.
 
I've been laying in bed a little bit so far today, listening to the thunderstorm in my area. The thunder isn't too loud. It like a pleasant mild rumble in the distance.
 
I'm going to watch my young grandsons ride their bicycles in a parade this morning, then come home and cook burgers and hot dogs for everyone for lunch. After they all leave, I'll collapse and zone out on Netflix or BritBox and probably take a nap.

Happy 4th to everyone!
 
Happy 4th of July to all the Americans 🥳 🕺✨🎇🎆 🍰 🍾

Oh yeah, a glass or two of wine later this afternoon. Hooray for the 4th. :cool:
 
Good luck @jsilver256 , it's great to have you at the forum.
Happy 4th @tree and @Rodafina , you keep showing up, and you keep us contained. :)
My house guest is coming, and his boxes are piled high in my living room, but somehow it feels okay.
 
At least the morning and afternoon were quiet. Having rain and a few thunderstorms cells roll through, puts a damper on the neighborhood firework spammers. Too bad nothing is stopping it now.

I hope it'll not go all night, but... that's asking for idiots to stop being idiots.
 
Same as every year. Having to remain at home to make sure I can leave the house with the necessary belongings in case some idiot decides to burn up the neighborhood with illegal fireworks. But it's not even dark yet...
 
I spent much of the day comforting dogs. I feel so bad for them.

Ye gods, I freaking hate this holiday. LOTS of reasons for that, but the stupid fireworks is the most notable.

At least I have my zone here I can retreat to, and no weird family parties happen at this house, so no worries about that. One of the benefits of living in the absolute middle of nowhere: Nobody wants to have any parties or celebrations here.

Technically it's 12:35 AM on the 5th as I write this, but the whole mess isnt actually over until the random explosions stop.
