While I was waiting for Monday the Fourth of July to arrive,
I leafed through my album of pix from last year's Finest Fourth Picnics --

==============================================

dixie sass sets up her Southern first of the day repast
with a kettle on a spirit stove, teapot, biscuits, two cups.....

==============================================

Sistahs Nan & Maggie (known *not to cook* often)
relax before going to the picnic.....

==============================================

deadhead's family gathers for their picnic.....

==============================================

Aquamarine & Hubby hurry to get to
the firemen's picnic.....

==============================================

And last - but certainly not least -
found this one from Mama & Papa Bear's Album
(year not known) --

==============================================

[ sigh...wish I had one of JustFrank...sniff, sob.. ]

Ohhh.. thanks for delightful pix.. I think I am going to use one. fix it up a little.... hmmmmm of course my schedule is not too good for lots of photo editing.. I need to get Oliver out for at least 45 min of running etc..and going to see movie Howl;s Moving Castle tonight & dinner out with friend. His movie boundaries are much tighter than mine.. I can see most anything, but his list of stars and movie types that are "nos" limit us a bit. I have found my different friend each have differnt tastes in movies so it all works out

Maggie, you have lived so many different places and done many exciting things. Have you chronicled a lot of them (other than this type of posting)? I keep thinking I need to start archiving my events etc. Not sure anyone will be interested in years ahead, but never know. I surely wish my grandparents & great grandparents had kept a diary or journaled..
