So over the last few days a bunch has been going on.
Michon had a bog party at our house. She is going into 8th grade and had a boy, girl party.
It is the 4th of July so our family went to Shelley's extended family get-together in Cannon Falls about 40 miles from the twin cities, it was a good time as usual. The parade at 11:30 was almost identical to last year and every other year. I hate to be scrooge, but I just don't get these things.
Tonight we watched the fireworks from our front patio, it was nice, but I don't get these either.
i was thinking about what a strange thing it is re reenact bombs from a war to celebrate our nations independence. We are a warrior country. I wonder what an Iraqi would think of the big booming sounds that we all cheer at.
Tomorrow is my birthday and Matt Henry has arranged for a bunch of us to go play paintball. It will be fun, but here comes the war thing again.
It is a good thing I am not a war pacifist - what a boring July it would be.
