Happy 4th of July, All!


59 right now...high in the mid-90's. Wife and Stepdaughter are doing the shopping and cooking today...my task is to drink cold beer and watch. Good plan, eh?


Be safe, all!

72 going to 88 today, much cooler thankfully with thunderstorms likely.

Mostly, gorgeous boat, I want to go for a ride!

not much planned today, I think Roy has the right idea.
Might drive downtown tonight to see some fireworks by the river.

Desert Rose loves the heat. Would make a great plant for Texas and NM.

That's a nice plant....wonder how it would do in the north east?

ok if you take it inside during the winter, which I had to do. It loses its "sun" leaves and grows indoor "shade" leaves.
Then you put it out in the Spring and it loses those indoor leaves, grows outdoor leaves, and blooms constantly.
It was given to me as a gift in bad shape and I got it going again.

Was reading an article on July 4th celebrations and as expected, there's a big one in Texas:

Granbury's Old-Fashioned 4th of July Celebration
Presented by the Granbury Chamber of Commerce in this Texas town, about 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth, the 4th of July celebration is a two-day affair. You can bet this means there's a lot more than just fireworks on the agenda.
CEO Mike Scott says they're expecting somewhere around 50,000 people to attend the events, but he noted that the parade alone draws a crowd upward of 20,000 folks. Those are impressive numbers for a town with a population of less than 10,000.
The celebration takes place in the historic townhouse square. Purchase a beer from one of the bars on the square's perimeter (open containers are OK here), before grabbing a bite from one of the many popular food vendors. From turkey legs to fruit kabobs drizzled in chocolate to classic Filipino dishes, the food scene is a draw in and of itself.

Happy Independence Day!

I read the Declaration of Independence this morning, as I do every 4th of July...can only imagine what life was like then and the great wisdom, strength and bravery of our founding fathers.

A bit of wisdom from Thomas Jefferson: "To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt...I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple."
