Late Friday Night

It's late and so far, I can't sleep. Mark is sleeping but seems to be tossing and turning a lot. The "goobers" in our neighborhood have already started with the fireworks and my dogs are petrified. The golden retriever is a "barker" and she's trying to tell them to stop. The chocolate lab is crying (literally) and the German Shepard is hiding in the bathtub. Only our kitty is deaf to all the noise. What a family, huh? Mark had a really good day with food (isn't it something that what somebody eats in a day is banner headlines . . .). He had an omelette for breakfast, a small hamburger patty for lunch and about a cup of spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner. I couldn't be happier. We are preparing for a visit from his cousin tomorrow. I know that will be good for us both. Well, I think I'll try to at least lay quietly for a while and who knows, I might actually fall asleep (if the fireworks stop). HAPPY 4TH AND NEVER GIVE UP! Rebecca

What a strange world we live in where we use the anniversary of the birth of our country as an excuse to blow thing up LOUDLY for days (and nights)! I hope you got some sleep!

I'm glad that Mark was able to eat and I hope he was able to enjoy the flavors.

Have fun with the cousins! I just got back from a family thing in Kansas where I saw cousins I hadn't seen in 30+ years. It's very special to spend time with people with whom you have history.

So Sorry about the fireworks. There are a couple of Radio Personalities named Rick and Bubba who did a bit about a home fireworks show gone wrong. Makes me laugh til the tears spurt.

I hope that you and Mark have a Happy 4th of July.

And I hope that Mark eats something REALLY yummy. Homemade Ice cream? I hope that I get some homemade ice cream for sure!!!

Love You Guys Rebecca and I really hope it is a nice day for the both of you.

(A round of applause for Mark because he's eating again.)

(Actually, that looks like a diamond of applause, doesn't it? Hey, I'm doin' da best I can, here, ok?)

We were fortunate to be in areas where there were no private fireworks displays. That's kind of nice.

Glad to hear about Mark's appetite. Enjoy your outing!
