Happy 4th of July!!
This is by far my favorite holiday! When Adam and I tie the knot, I'm definitely getting married on the 4th of July... free fireworks! ;-) In honor of today, here's one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs:
...Independence Day
And all I remember
Was a midnight rainbow
That fell from the sky
As I stand on the beach
I slowly surrender
To the child in me
That can't say goodbye
The rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Put away their differences for a while
Oh I am still a child
When it comes to something wild
Oh that was the night
I painted the sky
I dug in the sand
Like a boy on a mission
And there in my hands
A pyro's delight
If un bombardier
A night time magician
I sparked the sky
As the rockets fly from view
The rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Put away their differences for a while
Yes I am still a child
When it comes to something wild
Oh that was the nightI painted the sky
Oh the mortars they roar
In anticipation
Proceeding the sigh
Of the uplifted eyes
It showers us all
In sulfuric sensation
The colors shine
And a fiery rhyme tonight
The rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Won't you put away your differences for a while
I am but a child
When it comes to something wild
Oh that was the night
That was the night
Oh that was the night
I painted the sky...

Jimmy Buffett always brings back memories of happier times when Mom was around. Isn't it weird how something as simple as a song can take you back a few years? Anyways, enough rambling. Hope everyone gets to see some fireworks and has a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Well - You're in for it now - I placed your Picture and Blog address on my site and as soon as I get a moment I'll link you there as well. Hope everything went well today ( Friday) Jodi had a terrible time at the dentist but is starting to feel like she can eat something. Get in touch with me this weekend if you get a moment and let me know how you are doing.

Mummy (Misty) sent me over here. She said if I didn't come over here she would, and I quote "Cut me off from my $5 inheritance and sell me to a circus". So you see I really had no choice but to come here :p
