Happy Independence Day!!

My daughter was watching 1776 when I came downstairs this morning.  Here is a snippet from that movie.  This might be the whole thing but it isn't the best picture quality.

Well, I worked all day.  The drive home was a scattering of fireworks being set off.  When I got back I went for a walk to get my step count in.  Gideon didn't want to go with me so I went alone.  As I left the house, there were random fireworks being set off.  It was a bit loud.  The booms, bangs and whistles gradually spaced out more and became less and less as it got later.  By the time I was on the roof of the second parking garage they had mostly stopped.  I had been hoping for a nice view from up there but the only ones I could see were really far away or tiny backyard ones.   I am very curious what the laws are for setting off fireworks in the city are.  When I got home I was told that the last words Gideon said were something like "I hope Grammy is home soon."   

This is how he was when I got back-

Fast asleep.  The way he is holding on to his foot, it looks like he has holes in his sock toes.  Sleep is what I need as well.  I keep fading away.  

I put in a full day for work and was not able to go to a friend's house because of it.  I did finish everything I had to and that is my happy for today.  Tomorrow I have 2 quick jobs and then back to packing, or maybe the other way around.
