We did not have any pie to eat, but since it was after 9 all slices were 1/2 price so we each took a Slice to go.

I took their mixed fruit pie

Speaking of pie,.. Our church is having their first annual pie social in a couple of weeks. We are supposed to make two pies... One for judging and one to be auctioned off

I was thinking of making a mixed fruit pie... Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries but I do not have a recipe....does anyone have a recipe they would like to share?

I am looking at YOU John G

Back when we had 4th of July parties we very often threw them on the 3rd and sometime on the 2nd depending on what day of the week the 4th fell upon

4th of July parties tend to start early (about midday) because people grill , and to run late because people have fireworks after dark

vixmom · « **Reply #37 on:** July 04, 2016, 04:24:59 AM »

Since we had to go to work early on the 5th it was easier to have the party the day before if it was a weekend (like this year) so we could set up, throw a 10 - 12 hour party and have the next day to recuperate and clean up

Back home where fireworks are illegal and must be smuggled in. There is none stop banging and booming and explosions and nighttime displays to rival Gucci and Disney

vixmom · « **Reply #39 on:** July 04, 2016, 04:28:44 AM »

Down here where fireworks are being sold in Target and Wakmart and every other street corner. We have heard no firecrackers and have only seen one display last night

Fourth of July greetings! I must have missed logging out here on my iPad when I fell asleep watching TV last night.

Thank you, DRs John G, Vixmom, TCB, and Jane for the vibes for Richard.

Happy Independence Day!

Fireworks are sold here too. Temporary sales stands are set up in front of shopping centers. This was all quite surprising to me when I first moved here from New York State.

And a very happy 4th to all, partay or no partay.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #48 on:** July 04, 2016, 05:55:54 AM »

It was absolutely crazy with fireworks here last night, too. We could hear them from all directions.

I slept too long, and I had lots of strange dreams. I remember these bits:
1. moving out of an apartment in the theatre district to the one i am in now, I had a piano but no bench.
2. I was at something and my friend Lara Teeter, whom I've not seen since the mid-1980s, was there.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #51 on:** July 04, 2016, 06:01:08 AM »

I have my friend's annual partay to go to this evening. Their family, who live in the south, bring up a carload of the real thing every year. They're all very careful and experienced at this, and they have a several-acre piece of property in which to let 'em go with plenty of room to safely spread out. This partay has been a tradition for at least the past twenty years.

This is another Guys & Dolls day.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #53 on:** July 04, 2016, 06:04:39 AM »

My dream was a mild one that was some sort of silly riff on the Tonys and on TDF -- which I joined last week, btw!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** July 04, 2016, 06:10:06 AM »

I have to say, I thought I smelled something burning a while ago ....

Fortunately, it was just my Vixese translator getting a little overheated from this morning's string of posts!

No single 4th of July stands out in my mind, but I do recall when I was a kid, spending summers in Soap Lake, WA, and watching the fireworks display over the lake.

Druxy · « **Reply #56 on:** July 04, 2016, 06:13:54 AM »

Only 3 more episodes of HELL ON WHEELS...and then it's over.

Monday, July 4.

Everyone have a happy and safe holiday.

I, too, have no specific memory of a special JULY 4 holiday. I like the fireworks - although not the noise.

We have a rehearsal tonight....so we shall see what we shall see.

1. The year I took friends up in a plane on the evening of the 4th and flew all around the Valley and the L.A. Basin looking way down at these teeny tiny fireworks displays all over town. There were many more of them, everywhere, than you would imagine, and from several thousand feet up, the fireworks look like they're barely getting off the ground. But on a clear night, every one of them was like a tiny jewel. Really unique and magical.

2. The Fourths of 1985 and 1986 when I lived in Schaumburg, Illinois. After living in L.A. there was something about the people and communities and town parks in the suburban Chicago Midwest that made those two Fourths a sort of Americana perfection. I've always been glad I could experience them.
