Happy 4th of July

Today was actually a fun day for someone who had to work. I went in at 9 this morning so missed the festivities at the Lemoore Park which I was informed was going on until 8 tonight. I got off at 3 and hung out at work til 6. I haven't done this yet this year. The day fell apart for swimming by the very end but for the most part they still kept coming in. We had one teacher that got off an hour and a half early. She is the one this summer that gets all the breaks so it was comical. She got off when I did but got in an hour and a half after me. I went over to Troys sisters and hung out with Becky, her husband Mario and daughter Annalee or Annie for short. She has been in swim lessons for the last three weeks. She is a pip. We went for a walk down the block. She is two years old and just talks and talks up a storm. Troys mom and dad were there also so I really enjoyed myself they make me feel extremely welcome over there. I miss mom and dad being that its the 4th. I miss making ice cream and all that makes up a true Sparlin 4th. Maybe next year I can make it there to be with them on the 4th. I left before it got dark and headed for home. I made it before all the madness started on the streets. I kept hearing all the banging, clanking and whistling. I finally got curious about half an hour ago. There are two high schools doing a show within viewing distance from the front yard plus all the neighbors creating their shows. Now I am back here finishing this blog started an hour ago. Ready to sleep. Hope you all had a great and wonderful 4th of July. I sure did!!!!
