Well, the light is fading from the sky and it's almost time to go out and look at fireworks. We are hoping we can see them from our backyard....or roof...or pool...as there is a show going on about 2 miles from here.
It was a lazy day, yet productive. We cleaned the house, did some yard work, and Charles put new light fixtures in the bathroom. I should have done a before and after picture of it.....because it's quite dramatic! The old fixtures were pendant light globes, hanging from metal chains that had seen their day back in the '80's. The metal was all corroded and the globes had embossed goldish designs on them. Yeah...ummmm, ewwww.... The new fixtures are brushed aluminum bars with 3 frosted sconces. The sconces are supposed to aim downward, but we realized after hooking them up that you can't open our bathroom medicine cabinet if the sconces aim down. So he twisted it up and it looks pretty good. I got them from Costco for $25, so he was going to MAKE them work. lol The fixtures at Home Depot were not so cheap.
After the fixture fiasco, we floated around in the pool.
I brought the dog in and made her float too. She looked so hot, it was really nice of me.....heehee. She actually doesn't like it at ALL, but I'm thinking one day she will decide it's nice and jump in all by herself. I put her 2 front paws on a pool 'noodle' and put one arm under her tummy and floated her around. The only time she panicked was when her back legs would float too far under her and she felt as if she was tipping backward. **Update** This has been sitting half done all evening. And now: The REST of the story...
Page THREE! We had some friends drop by. They just moved to town....they needed to use our internet to contact their realtor, so we invited them to swim and eat homemade ice cream with us. We watched for fireworks, but they were a little too far away and some trees and rooves were blocking what we might have seen. But it was a nice visit and the kids all had fun swimming together. (I think our water level went down a couple inches from all the splashing! lol)
I hope your 4th was fun and that you ate a burger or at least some corn on the cob. =) That reminds me, we forgot to cut the watermelon!!!! *dagnabit*
