My neighbors shut off the street for a 4th of July party every year. This is my second year at the party, but it's been going on for 8 years, a really nice tradition. The neighborhood kids play with squirt guns and water balloons and run and run and run. The grown-ups sit and talk and enjoy catching up with one another.
I made a fruit salad ---- casaba melon and blueberries ---- and grilled some hot dogs for my friends S & T when they came over to check out our tandem-bike and do some vacation planning.
I had a good talk with a friend this morning (a happy surprise that she called) and I made plans for my vacation this afternoon. It's independence day and I'm feeling that way: independent, strong, happy, and good.
