Fourth of July

I hope everyone had a SPLENDID 4th of July! I know that mom and I sure did. It was definitely different this year, being just mom and I, but we had a lot of fun! We played games and relaxed all day and then watched State Fair and various fireworks at night. Mom got two versions of State Fair in a musicals set that she got for Mother's Day (one made in 1945 and one in 1962) and so we decided to watch them back to back and see which one we liked better. And the Winner is.........1945! The State Fair made in 1945 was a lot cuter and old-timey but we enjoyed different things about both! In the middle of watching these films, we went outside and watched our neighbors on both sides do fireworks on the street. They both had some really cool fountains! Also, we have a couple of other neighbors who are probably a couple of streets over who set off some illegal ones, so we got quite a fireworks show right in our front yard! It was a really nice, relaxing, fun day. Hope everyone else had a great Independance day!

I'm glad you had fun. We had a relaxed but fun day also, aside from the puking. I also wanted to mention that my mother in law loves the movie Mansfield Park. How do you like the book?

Yeah, Jana, it would've been awesome if you could join us, but we'll have a lot of fun at the cabin!

I just barely started Mansfield Park, so I'll have to let you know if I like it! I just wanted to read a Jane Austen that I didn't know the story to yet :) I've heard it's one of her best stories though too, so I'm excited to read it. I'm glad you guys had a relaxing day... aside from the puking :) I'm so excited to see ya'll at the Cabin!!! Love ya!
