4th of July

gmaburka

We had a grand time yesterday. It was an impromptu fourth of July party. Last year it was the big golf tournament and everybody in the family came except Todd and Melissa. This year there was no plan...We just called Rose and told her we were available to come over and that we would put up her curtain in the dining room...Two days ago Gpa and Boys put up the new curtain in the living room and her bedroom. She had been trying to get them up for Years she says...We took bangers (that's what Paul eats in Ireland...they are white sausages) and we took our free watermelon, and stuff for s'mores...
Sam and Andrew and Gpa put up the curtain and Rose worked on the draping of it so it would fit her window. Gma is the idea and advice person on these projects...very tiring job. Rose did a good job on the curtains because she is experienced in framing work. Gnma served bangers for lunch and after the work was over ,we had watermelon and then jumped into the pool. Gpa ate 8 pieces of watermelon so he had a little tummy ache . It was so good to be with Sam and Andrew. They were with us all day ..Sam fixed wonderful baked beans for supper and Andrew grilled hamburgers.
We all watched the shuttle Discovery launch together...What a Great Fourth!!!!
