The 4th of July is just a few days away and we have an amazing giveaway hop thanks to MamatheFox for y’all. I don’t know about y’all but I am so ready for the 4th. We normally have a barbeque and celebrate with family and friends. This year will be a little different in that there won’t be as many people there but we will still be celebrating.
This year it is mostly going to be adults since I am not back home yet. That is perfectly alright though. Every once in a while it is good to have a kid free celebration. After the last couple of months I think the break the kids and I have had from one another (they are with their father) has been an important one. We needed more than we normally would. I think we were maybe driving each other a little crazy.

Between Covid and fire danger, all the fireworks in our area were cancelled this year. Kind-of a bummer. But we actually had a really relaxed and lovely day as a family anyway, and watched the live streamed fireworks from the capitol.
Ann says
I waited to comment, because I didn’t know what the day would be like. I’ve been grieving since this past Monday night, when I learned that my love, my heart, has died from COVID-19. I’m destroyed. Yesterday (July 4) I sat on our (my?) enclosed porch for hours, completely zoned out while listening to music. Every little thing reminds me of him. Crying out, screaming, wailing hysterically every so often. But I was a bit quieter, later on after the sun set. I remembered our favorite 3-day 4th of July weekend together… it was magical. Finally I lit a very old sparkler for him, told him so many times that I love him, and wished him a happy holiday.
❤️
