But it came off well; Dottie had things planned out well; everyone brought food and my younger son grilled (I kind of stay away from the grill now, with my plastic O2 line and bomb of an O2 bottle). Last year I bought a good 3M respirator with charcoal filters that were rated for sulfur fumes (black powder) and slipped the O2 line from my concentrater out the door to my chair and under the mask. It worked well-a year ago I never figured I'd get a chance to use it twice!
Bill and Laura made it in from Colorado so I got to watch Liam as he watched his first fireworks; as wonderful a year as I've had to this point, that was among the highlights so far!
Now the weeks until school starts again are growing short, so we're trying to spend as much time as possible with the grandchildren here (though their schedules are still hectic). We've been making day trips with each of them as they've had time, and have perhaps time for one more round with each of them before their schedules get really busy.
If I'm still doing OK then, perhaps another cross-country trip before winter sets in...
May the weekend be kind to you all!

Sounds like a wonderful adventure for the 4th. Really glad you have the time to spend with the grand kids before school begins. We're about to have family visit us in our new little rental-- three adults and three kids, one bathroom. It's going to be a couple of days too. Wish us luck!
I've just realised who the buyer of the postcards were! Sorry if my first contact via eBay was a bit vague. The cards will be with you soon.
