Happy Fourth of July
I just want to wish everyone a very happy Fourth of July.
I hung my flag up yesterday and will leave it up until at least Monday. I love to fly it! I also have some red, white & blue ribbon bows that I hang on the coach lights on either side of the garage door — very festive! Today, I have been playing patriotic music on the CD player and we will have a family dinner later on. We are in the middle of a heat wave here in Portland — so we will cook the brats inside where it is air-conditioned. I am such a wimp, besides I don’t own a barbque.
Just for your information, if you care, a heat wave here is defined as 3 or more days in a row where the temp reaches at least 90 degrees. My car said 102 a few days ago, but that is not the official temperature. It is supposed to be at least 95 today and cool down to about 78 for fireworks tonight. AND it will be almost a full moon tonight, too. I hope you enjoy your evening as much as we hope to enjoy ours!
Where Have I Been?
I think that this last week is the longest that Portland Firefly has not posted something new for you to read. And this time everything was NOT alright!
I have been feeling very well but my computer died! It had “The Blue Screen of Death” and it has taken Dell an entire week to just get me back online. More about that in another post. I have so much catching up to do and just wanted to get a brief note off to you so you know what happened.
