4th of July!


I had one of the greatest 4th of July's ever this year! It was one of those "absence makes the heart grow fonder" moments.  I haven't had a traditional -everyone out a Grandma and Grandpa's farm-  4th of July in something like 4 years and this year we got to do it again! We shot fireworks all day long, even when it was raining on us, got covered in dirt and firework ashes and ate dinner out on the front porch.  My cousin, Jed, was back from the war and it was really great to see him, seeing as how I haven't gotten to see him for a few years at least! He's all grown up and mature now, its so weird!  And, we got a call from Jessie who is currently in South Africa!  When it finally got dark we could look down over the entire horizon and see fireworks going off in every direction! It was such a wonderful day.  The farm will always be one of my most favorite places in the world!
