What a Fourth!

A glorious Fourth!
Started out last night with the City fireworks--which, yes, are always shot off on July 3rd...then today we hung out and did nothing until a little after lunch when we headed off to Grandma and Granddaddy's house...Just as we arrived, we got to see the shuttle DISCOVERY launching on TV...pretty cool...the thing was going 4 miles PER SECOND at one point...and the thing was still accelerating...so, no telling how fast it actually got going!
We had good ole' fourth of July watermelon...then watched a little of the World Cup Semi-finals...Daniel commented that, after having been to Mexico, he had a lot more appreciation for it now! But, no wonder soccer never has been all that popular and thrilling for Americans...the ending score was 2-0. And both points were made in the last two minutes of the game! No, that's not the game for Americans. Americans like basketball. High-scoring games!
We finished it off with a meal from KFC and some of Grandma's peaches...

What a wonderful day!
