What doin' for 4 O' july?

We are going to Richard's sister's house for a pool party and cookout. We were going to have it here but she beat us to it. I'm just as glad, I don't have to worry about someone (nephews) letting a cat out.

I'll be working all day. Hopefully it'll be a busy day at work, because it'll be worth it then ;)

But Friday hubby and I are going to the Folk Festival. It a huge event and lots of fun. I got free tickets from work. I'm seriously looking forward to it :) People have been telling me about it for years, long before I even moved to this area. Here's the link Kutztown Festival

Probably barbecuing, if it doesn't rain. If it does, I have clothes to pack up for Goodwill.

I'm going to see Nancy Drew and then out to dinner. Then I'll go home & watch the neighbor's fireworks. I have to stay home with Fenway because he gets really scared of the bangs. I have to work the next day, so no partying for me.

I'll be painting my rental house inside and laying laminate flooring in one room on the Fourth (fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth).

Is this why I have the holiday and vacation time off of 'work'?

well I am getting fireworks tonight. tomorrow night there is a huge firework show uptown and I think we're going and then on July 4th, I am going to help clean at the shelter where I volunteer at in the morning, I don't really want to go to the parade and we aren't going to be in it this year, because the dogs about died last year from the heat. :( so when I come home, we are having a bunch of company and a BBQ. :)

Well if my hopfully future dog passes his hip test today, then I should be getting him on the 4th! Which would make the 4th a wonderful holiday. ;) We are also going on vacation on Friday, so lots of packing.

My folks are in Indiana (from Florida) for my niece's wedding on Saturday, so I am going to visit with them at a cookout at my sister's house. I am sure we will also be working on some last minute wedding details also! Should be fun!

Doubt I will stay awake long enough for fireworks though, since I have to go to work the next day! :(
