Jan, I just hate it when people act like that and make you feel like it's your fault for making them unhappy.

We decided not to go to our community's festivities today. Last year was perfect. It was sunny and just warm enough. We all shared food and the community had burgers and hot dogs and I won the dessert contest with my brownies!!!! Steve and I had a flag making project for the kids with twigs and glue and cut out stars and stripes which they could paint in red, white and blue. There's still paint on the picnic table from that fun time! We had a big set for volleyball and badminton and whatever else everyone wanted to play, horseshoes... You get the picture! It is always held at a pavilion on the Harris River here where the salmon run and there's trout and it's just beautiful.
This year, no contests, no shared food, it was all bring your own and eat your own. No games or projects. Nothing like that.
I was so disappointed but I totally understand... Then the way I've been feeling all week it just wasn't worth it to me to try to go. So we stayed home. We watched the President's speech at Mount Rushmore which was awesome and then the fireworks. Then we were quite patriotic and finally filed our taxes for last year.
After that I scrapped a layout for the White plus Lime Green challenge. LOVE how it turned out! And then I decided I'd better check out the bingo. BIG oops there! I was looking at the uncalled words and thinking I was about to win!
I should have known better. Blame it on the steroids and antibiotics. LOLOL!
Anyway, DH wants to have sushi with our fresh king salmon for dinner. Then when it finally gets dark (around midnight) we will go down to our beach on the lagoon and we'll set off a few fireworks that his youngest son got us and we'll play Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner and record it all with Steve's iPad.
That should be fun!
Meanwhile, I'm going to continue scrapping to try and catch up with what I'm behind on for this week's class. Then I don't know what else. I'm just happy to finally be starting to feel better! So far 3 days with no nebulizer and no extra inhalers! And no nap today! YAYAYAY!
Happy July 4th everyone!
