It is summer time and the living is easy...

Well, kind of.. seems like it goes crazy fast,

or slows down to nothing...

4th of July has been my favorite holiday. No present,

which makes it great for starters.. but there is good cheer,

parades, picnics and fireworks.  

So usually on the go thru the whole time.. but this year,

not so much.. It was a 3 days holiday for the King, as the

school district decided to honor Friday for the 4th, being

it fell on Saturday.  

The kids went out of town to be with other siblings.

And had a great time.. in-laws didn't come up this time.

So we were left to our own choices.  So we did the

Sandpoint parade.. we had our own cookout.. which was

ate in, as it was too hot to be outside.  And we passed on

the fireworks.. See the local one only has 10 minutes

worth. After sitting for 3 hours waiting, so we could have

a good seat, and it lasted exactly 10 minutes, about 6 years

ago. Well, I have decide that isn't good enough to back

the car out of the driveway.   

So Friday and Saturday was laid back.

Sunday, was a little more busy... we had breakfast with

friends, stopped by to see another one we hadn't seen for

a year.. and then in the afternoon, said good by to my

Dr. who retired.. A 29 year association of trust. Not

easy starting over, when you are my age. But have been

lined up with a woman Dr. Which will be new.. as in all

my 75 years, I have never had a woman Dr.  She seems

nice enough.  

So that ends the big weekend of the 4 of July. Which is

kind of mid way of summer it seems like. Starting with

Memorial Day in May.. and ending with Labor Day in

September.  In this fast lane of life.. it seem that with summer

almost half over.. is faster than I want to go.
