FOURTH OF JULY

I had a really busy day today, but got so much done.  It seems after a week of work it takes me two days to recover and then the third day I'm ready to go.  Unfortunately most times the third day is the day I return to work!

I ended up doing a load of wash, a load of dishes, cleaning the downstairs and then making a great dinner for my friends Carole and Walt who came over.

Joe is pretty sick.  He has a sore throat, is nauseous and has been running a slight fever.  On top of that he had a seizure this afternoon and had a splitting headache.  He was too sick to have dinner with us.  He did come down for about an hour later on, but he's back in bed now.

I made a great dinner.  Everyone loved it (even the sick one).  I started out with a green salad made with things from the farm.  Then I had deviled eggs.  I was told they were better than the ones Joe usually makes.

Of course there was "Kathy's World Famous Potato Salad."

And for the main dish I had barbecued chicken.  Yum, yum!

For dessert I made a buttermilk crumb cake.  I put peaches and blueberries from the farm in the batter.  It was wonderful!

As the day ended there was a beautiful sunset.

And at night there was fireworks that I could see from my front steps.  My camera has a fireworks setting so I tried to take some pictures.  Most of them didn't turn out.  Here are the couple that are so-so.

All in all it's been a good day.
