What did you do on July 4th??

Not an Aquarian?? Bummer. Sounds like she's already taken to water like a fish. I was a swimmer throughout my childhood. Was on the swim team and everything.

I have no clue how to download from a cellphone camera. Maybe Phred can enlighten you.

Donna ~ That sounds like a wonderful way to spend Independence Day.

Nothing exciting here. I worked. And since I work for British Petroleum, you can imagine that the 4th of July is not a big hit! The chefs tried, even though they're not real familiar with "traditional" July 4th foods.

When I walked into the caffeteria, the first thing I saw were egg rolls. Oooookay....... The next choice was jalepeno poppers. Hmmmmm........ Next pan contained brattwurst and sauerkraut. Finally, there was a mountain of fried chicken.

I asked about the choices and was informed that since America is a melting pot, they wanted to make sure that many different cultures were represented.

i think that's nice. and was there potato salad to go with the chicken?

Everyone invited to the party was asked to bring whatever they wanted to cook on the grill. I brought 2 packages of Brats with Cheese and a package of boneless chicken breasts. The cheese Brats were a big hit!!

No! Of course, my mommy makes the best potato salad in the world, so I probably wouldn't have eaten theirs anyway.

I'm sure your Mommy's potato salad is good, but there are a few PTers here that may argue my mommy's potato salad is the best I'm not sure if she makes more for the Dog Park gatherings, or for the take home containers to hand out at the gathering!


We spent the 4th in Findlay ith my parents, sister and her kids, aunt and uncle and all 11 dogs. It was a fun day!

Wow, sounds like everyone had a blast!!

I spent the day at my boyfriends house with his little brothers, my best friend Toni, and her boyfriend (whom is my boyfriends good friend). We watched a couple "Rocky" movies, and then headed down the road to the neighbors to ride horse. We met up with my boyfriends mom who was already riding horse, and rode for a bit. After that we headed back and took showers so we weren't all sweaty and dirty for dinner. After showers we all went over to "the horse shoe" which is a dug-out swimming pool right next to a family friend of my boyfriends. We had brats and corn on the cob off the grill. After dinner my boyfriend, 2 friends, and I went and started watching a movied called Turista (i think ) and after about an hour decided to go join everyone with the fireworks. There were about 25 people at the neighbors doing fireworks and watching. Josh and Matt (my boyfriend and good friend) decided a "fireworks war" was in order with his little brothers. They did that while me and my friend Toni stood behind the boys and let them do there thing! There were a few close calls, but none of us four got hit, but the younger boys sure did! After the fireworks all ran out it started to rain so we headed to the garage and said our goodbyes and headed home.
