Good, Bad, & Ugly

July 4th was fabulous. Joe had an unexpected day off and we went to
the Fredericksberg parade. The girls were so cute with their arms
around eachothers shoulders and waving their little flags. We also had
kolaches (Czech hotdog things), doughnuts, and raspberry snowcones for
lunch, barbecue for dinner with Joe's mom, and a wild neighborhood
fireworks show at night. Seriously, when it comes to fireworks, these
Texans are nuts! It's a wonder none of the houses on our street caught
fire.

Now for the bad and ugly in no particular order; Miriam gave herself
and Caitlin haircuts and Caitlin threw my iphone across the room and
cracked the screen. I was so mad I had to put myself in timeout.

Now circling back to the good stuff... I bottled a couple of boxes of
fresh Fredericksberg peaches with joe's mom in preparation for Lorna's
wedding. We're having cobbler for dessert. I marvel at the skills of
previous generations. Makes me want to go read the Anne of Green
Gables series again.
