Happy Fourth of July!

I hope your day has dawned better, because it's stormy and gray here. It's a good thing we had our cookout yesterday!

Which, by the way, went off fairly well. I was anal about my carpets, and kind of tired, but for the most part it was a good day. I got compliments on my macaroni salad and the cake I baked...which, trust me, made my day!

Our houseguest left this morning to trek back home. It was nice, really, as this is the BIL I've never really gotten to talk to or spend much time with. I told him he probably knows me better now than he ever wanted to!

And he drove us around in his Honda Odyssey, which was pretty sweet...for a minivan anyway. I don't know if I'll "convert" over, we'll see; this makes two such vehicles among the in-laws and sometimes I wonder if they don't want to start a fleet of Odysseys or something.

Weeeel, the younglings are watching a Tom & Jerry "Slamfest" on Boomerang, and I've got some laundry going...it's raining and my fridge is stocked with leftovers from yesterday, so it's going to be a very quiet Fourth for us.
