Happy 4th of July! The fireworks should be starting in about an hour. We just got back from the cottage - about 2-1/2 hrs drive each way, and we went through the pouring rain - not very promising weather - we packed bathing suits but didn't really plan to use them. Not too big a crowd showed up, 3 of us, about 5 other people, Mr ML's sisters, hubby, daughter, grandaughter -

Wow about the 44 people party!!

That's a lot to entertain. So awesome there's a good view of the fireworks. I love to see them, but not too close!! From a window indoors I think is ideal. They built a new hotel near where the Boston Pops/near my work, and I thought it would be cool to stay there on July 4th, with a hotel room that had a view of the fireworks - I read in the paper that a 4th of July package there cost $1,500!! Now I like fireworks as much as the next person - but not enough to pay the equivalent of a fancy new refrigerator for it!

I got up and baked brownies. Was going to make them last night, but got caught up watching "Independence Day" - love that movie! Everybody was so young - 12 years ago! We recognized Devon Gummersall as one of the young kids - and now he's married to Majandra! So there's the Roswell connection (well that and Area 51 of course). And Bill Pullman, who was in Grudge with Jason, was president - there's the Jason connection.

It was on til late and then it was too late to start baking anything, so I got up and did it this morning - they were fresher, too.

Usually there are a ton of desserts but not many people meant not many desserts - I brought brownies and Betty made her famous apple pie and they both got eaten up! And we stopped at the really cool country/general storenear the cottage to marvel at all the cool stuff, buy penny candy and ice cream - love that place. And then we just sat around and chatted all day. It was pretty nice and mellow. I was worried because I hurt my back and it's taking awhile to get better, but it was okay on the long car ride and I didn't exert myself too much out there.

Of course athletic Mr ML hopped in the canoe and canoed all around the lake - he's like Jason -a lot of energy.

It's what keeps them skinny (and muscular). ahem.

Nice thing about this Friday holiday is now we have a free weekend, too!
