We had an excellent 4th of July. The first thing we did in the morning was trim the tree and open presents. We then went to our local pub and had a pint of Guinness and corned beef for brunch. Once we got home, we queued up our favorite 4th of July movie, The Ten Commandments. The film ended just in time for us to go trick or treating (although we didn't seem to get as much candy as last 4th). The festivities continued with a dinner of enchiladas and margaritas, which were topped off by a freshly baked pumpkin pie. Our celebration concluded with a glass of champagne at midnight.
Strangely, there was nothing in the news today about the apparent mortar exchange last night between our neighboring towns of Earlville and Sandwich. The shelling intensified at dusk, and ended abruptly at 10:00 when it sounded like they threw everything they had at each other. We could see the shell bursts and hear the reports from here. And I can't be sure, but I swear I heard Tchaikovsky floating on the breeze.
I can't wait for the next holiday, Labor Day, when we honor all the women giving birth.
