Well, here we are... a three-day weekend. There's that nice advantage of Independence Day falling on a Friday...

So, I spent this morning finally mowing the front and back yards, cutting down long-growing weeds and grass. It had gotten to where we lost the puppy in the back yard when she went out to do her puppy bizness...

I prepared a typical holiday cookout for my Bride, some of my Jackburgers and Grandma's baked beans. Her smile was all I needed to tell me that I did ok for her.

Don't know what we'll do this evening... not sure if we'll try to brave the rest of the county's population at the river for fireworks shows, or stay home where it's quiet...
