I have to answer to Becket about the potato salad. No, I didn't put it aside. But I did make less and I should have kept with the original program. It's Monday and there is NO POTATO SALAD left! Ten pounds of potatoes just doesn't make enough salad. Then there was the super lean hamburger I used to make patties this year. Too lean. So I added sour cream, eggs, beefy onion powdered soup mix, bread crumbs and off to the barbie! I had so many hamburgers to cook, but I thought that would be ok to have some in the freezer. I was all right with that. Well, it's Monday and there are NO HAMBURGERS left over! Now what will we eat?

I missed the parade again this year. Because I had to make the salad. Next year I am planning ahead of time and I WILL be to the parade. No one here really gets why I like the parade, but I do so that's all that matters.

We had part of family here in and out over the day. Everyone is getting in to their own celebration of this day. That's ok but it makes things a bit lonely here. I work as hard for a few as for a lot so I'm tired as usual. There was a time...

So happy Fourth of July to all of you and I hope your days celebrating our freedom and our wonderful country (but not leaders) were pleasant and popping good!!!
