I'm hosting the 4th with a cookout where we will eat in the house because of the heat. (It was 100 today.) A group of old friends from elementary and high school (we graduated 35 years ago) will join us. All of our children will drop in to eat and out since they will hang with their own friends later in the day. I got to sew some today after cleaning house and preparing what I can for tomorrow. I'll be up sewing tonight at least until 1:00 or 2:00 am.
