Bacon Holidays

I’m straddling Monday and Wednesday here, because I have no intention of posting tomorrow. . .not that we have big plans. Our city canceled tonight’s fireworks, and the (two-hour) parade won’t happen tomorrow either. (Yes, 2008 is sorely disappointed; her mama is not.)

While our town recovers from Sunday’s massive storm, our little family will celebrate in the backyard with sparklers and a grilled dinner. 

It should go without saying, but may not so I’ll say it: we grill over charcoal, because that’s how it’s done.

Lucky 2008 got to choose the day’s dessert, so tomorrow morning we’ll bake apple pie from scratch. Thanks to Fancy Nancy, we’ll enjoy it à la mode (Jane O’Connor, we need to talk.)

Meanwhile, the north side of our town is still without power, and may be for the remainder of the week. The city has advertised several cooling centers via email and their website. 

Via email and their website. For people without power.  I’m sure their underutilization is mere coincidence.

Happy, happy Independence Day to all of you. May your festivities be happy and your patriotism civil.

    I blog rarely, because I'm busy writing books. When I do blog, I focus on writing, friendship, family, and books. Because my family's best nicknames are private, I use their birth years for shorthand:
    1977: my partner
    2008: my first daughter
    2010: daughter #2

    2013: the final daught
