    My inlaws are coming down to stay with us for a few days. We'll probably just do the general grilling out and watching fireworks on the fourth- but hey, that's fine with me!

    We are invited to a Picnic for Jim's Niece's 60th B-Day.

    It will be held at a Fireman's Park. I guess we all will bring food. Drinks are provided.

    Any suggestions on what I can take??????? Thanks ... Liz

    We are having a family get together at our house. My sisters and their families will be here and my Mom and my grown DSs and DSS. We will be grilling out and then doing a few fireworks, there is a fireworks ban for any aerial fireworks that are on sticks or have "wings or fins" so we will be watching the big artillery shells and the kids can do small ones on the ground. DH always plows an area of the pasture down to the bare dirt for them to do their fireworks on so it is realatively safe for them.

    Not sure yet. Both DH & I have 4 day weekend, but we haven't decided if we are going to visit our family or just enjoy the long weekend by ourselves.

    I have no idea, lol. I was waiting to see which one of you had the best goings on & see if we could worm our way into your fun.

    Kids will be home and we'll probably have a nice bbq. Don't think we'll be going anywhere. Water is still too cold to be up to the lake and if the past many weeks are an indication, chances are it will rain.
