Happy 4th of July

This has to be the quietest July 4th I have ever spent in ANY neighborhood. Because of the drought (we haven't had rain in about one month) and everything being SO dry, they banned fireworks almost everywhere. Nobody in ANY neighborhood is allowed to shoot fireworks unless you are an organization (church) that has permission from the county. Actually, the church we live behind should be starting their show in about 10 minutes. We get to watch from our own backyard (which I mowed today so it doesn't burn). Hopefully the temperature will be under 94 degrees when we get out there. As stated, my trip to New York is over. I am hoping to go to Kansas City for a couple of days instead.
