Happy Independence Day!

I wish I could say I took this but I didn't!
July 4 – The day didn’t start off bad but the rains finally started around 11.  It was a pretty miserable day for everyone.  We didn’t venture out much.  I went to the office before the downpour started to ask Pam if we could make a shift change on Tuesday so we would leave after work to drive to Maine to begin our little vacation.  We were able to change to 10 – 2 so we maybe can be on the road by 2:30 and have dinner with Polly and spend the night in Waterville, ME, across the bridge from where she lives.  I sat and visited with Pam and her cousin Roxanne and Joe once he came in.

The rain stopped long enough for us to move the grill table under the awning so we could still grill out our lunch.  Bill did brats and bison burgers and I made broccoli slaw, deviled eggs and bought Bill a small container of potato salad.  We ate about 2 and pretty much watched old patriotic movies on TV or read until shift time at 5.  We were on until 9 and it was pretty slow.  Some kids fought the rain to come in and play the games.  Since the weather was so bad Bill and Ron cleared out the BINGO area so the duo coming to perform could set up there and the guests were out in the main hall.  The show started at 7.  It was a country western girl singing with a guitarist and they were really good.  We had a good crowd and Steve baked chocolate chip cookies and passed them around and people played pool while they listened so it looks like everyone that showed up enjoyed the evening even though they couldn’t have campfires or fireworks.  We got off at 9 and the entertainment lasted until 10.


Since Bill had his share of cookies and I had a couple we didn’t make anything for dinner.
