Day before the 4th of July

Watching Wimbledon--a tradition in my family. Although I can remember watching Jimmy Connors and John Macenroe (sp) play for the championship as well as Chris Everet and Martina Navratolova (sp?). Today I'm watching Djokovic and Nadal play. There was a short break after 3 sets to cover the court. What happened to Federer? Time marches on doesn't it?

We used to travel to Fort Vancouver to watch the fireworks. My kids loved the fireworks. Me, I don't really care but I want to be with my family and grandchildren. Tomorrow night we will watch them at the golf course in south Salem.

So, what 4th of July traditions do you have? Do you have a red, white and blue breakfast as my sister used to have? I think it was blueberries, strawberries and whipped cream on top of waffles. Yummmm.

    Well, many of you know I go with the flow more than stick with traditions. That meant a barbecue with my two sons and one grandchild yesterday, then we played a wild and crazy card game afterward. (We also got some work done. :) It was a wonderful day!

    I think fireworks are beautiful, but discovered one of my doggie guests isn't impressed with the noise. So I'll just hang out with my critters at home the next couple of days and perhaps be able to see the fireworks over the river from my house.

    I also like the idea of launching a personal "independence day"--freeing myself from a less-than-healthy habit or launching a campaign toward something I've been wanting to change. Yes, even angels can improve!
