Lovely photos from DR GINNY.

I can see the town fireworks that go the highest over the trees....the event is about a mile and half away.....

Precious is completely uninterested in the noise.....she certainly has no problem with her hearing....she can hear the refrigerator door open two rooms away.....but she is the least curious dog I have ever known.

We went to to the movies to see the latest Pirates movie, Dead Men Tell No Tales, but it was foldout by time we arrived

Starting to watch Major Barbara with Wendy Hiller and Rex Harrison.

I never liked that play. It's one of those I think I should like, like Uncle Vanya and Death of a Salesman.

Vixdad suggested ice cream and I suggested we go to Stew Leonard's for soft serv

vixmom · « **Reply #155 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:06:32 PM »

Vixdad agreed. But was shocked, shocked I tell you to discover Stew Leonard's was a supermarket

I like Vanya, but Salesman is not my favorite Miller.

I said, but I told you that I bought those New Zealand apples that you like at Stew Leonard's

He said, I don't listen when you talk about grocery shopping

For punishment he was forced to walk all the aisles and watch all the animatronics

Then we came home and we grilled some burgers

vixmom · « **Reply #161 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:12:09 PM »

I also grilled onions and red peppers for my burger, Vixdad preferred raw onion, lettuce and tomato

vixmom · « **Reply #162 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:12:27 PM »

Also we had corn on the cob

It's so nice to be able to eat that again

I have tried to like Arthur Miller plays but he's such a misery guts ...

vixmom · « **Reply #165 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:16:17 PM »

The Crucible is the only one I have any fondness for and I am sure that's only because I was part of the crew for our college production

The town is alive with the sound of fireworks

vixmom · « **Reply #167 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:19:06 PM »

The dogs cry and howl, and the smoke is thick

vixmom · « **Reply #168 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:21:06 PM »

The neighbors don't care because they're jerks

vixmom · « **Reply #169 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:22:22 PM »

The cops close their eyes, it just makes me sick

vixmom · « **Reply #170 on:** July 04, 2017, 06:22:45 PM »

This parody stuff is hard, clearly I'm no FJL

Rebozo's was the greatest.

Darling Daughter arrived a bit earlier than expected. We drove around trying to decide on what to eat and where. We drove for about forty minutes before I suggested the Smoke House - we called, it was open, and there we went. She had the shrimp louis, I had fish and chips and a salad and we shared the garlic cheese bread.

Then we drove around some more, and she's now on her way back to her friend's for barbecue and fireworks.

Three jars of habaneros have been pickled.

We did stop at a Rite Aid - every Rite Aid has been out of my beloved Cherry Chocolate chip prepackaged ice cream, so the Darling Daughter got a cone and I had them hand pack a quart.

It's been years since I played the vinyl. Is it only Borodin?
