I have the day off but my husband has to work so I guess I will be left to face all the stuff that I claim I never have time to do...YUK.

I saw something cute in our local paper that some people in one of the neighborhoods in our town have started...They call it The Children's Yankee Doodle Pet Parade. It begins at noon on a corner and will wind around a city block. They have two soldiers who were activated overseas during the war on Iraq acting as Grand Marshals for the parade. There are 100 people and 50 pets expected to walk in the parade. A party will be held in one of the front yards afterwards. Sounds like some good old fashion 4th of July fun. Wish I could see it.
