Happy 4th of July!

Well another July 4 is here, and I hope this finds everyone out there well, and enjoying a good day of BBQ and fireworks. I was supposed to have to work today, but that got moved back to yesterday, so I get the day off to enjoy as well. It will be spent watching racing and a little BBQ here as well. If the monsoon storms do not rain it out, we will try to catch some evening fireworks here in the valley.


Last weekend was my only 2 days off in a row this month, so I did some catching up on the 'to do list' around the house. Then Saturday Caryl and I went to an ice cream social sponsored by my local Mustang club - yum yum ! This was followed by us taking some chairs and going to an outdoor shopping mall a mile from the house and listening to some live music by the Groove Merchants. It was a nice, albeit hot night, but we settled in with a bottle of wine, and the breeze after dark made it easily bearable. As this band is one of Caryl's favorites, she was quite happy to put up with the heat for a few hours outdoors!

Speaking of Caryl, a note concerning her. She went in for a lumpectomy 2 weeks ago, and this week we found out it was, in fact, cancerous. The good news it was only stage 1-2, so with some radiation therapy she will hopefully be good as new in several months. I will continue to update as we know more.
