| Happy Fourth of July! |
Okay, I get it - I am recognized as a senior citizen almost everywhere I go. This morning my husband and I went grocery shopping on the one day a month that our grocery store gives 10% off on all purchases made by seniors. Not only were there three other couples there that we knew but they were older than us. So why were we the only couple trying to decide if we could get by with only six bottles of juice before we got to buy again at the discounted amounts next month?
When we got home we made Rice Crispy treats and bacon wrapped pineapple to take to an Independence Day party held at a friend's home. She had about fifty guests of varying ages. We were truly not the oldest by a wide shot. Her ninety-six year old father was there having a great time. Several people were in their seventies. They gathered us around them and we shared stories and laughed. But after about two hours of partying, we told everyone goodnight because we had to work tomorrow. They kept the partty going on. Bummer!
We watched the fireworks on the television while wearing our bedclothes. Most other years we were right in the thick of things watching them from a blanket in the park or serving hotdogs from the Lions Club pavillion. Those days may be behind us now. I hope not. A fine concession was the television we watched fireworks on is a 73" one. No glasses or hearing aids needed to enjoy the show.
