Sunday was such a nice day. At least once we got to Mandy and Matt’s house. The way it started, at our home, left me wondering if the day was, in fact, jinxed! Let me start at the beginning.
Saturday night was the 4th of July here in America. That means LOTS of fireworks. And this year it seemed every one had them, and the noise started at about 7 PM and went well into the night.
All I can say about that is…poor Lili. The sweetie is terrified of the noises and I feared she would have a complete breakdown!
By this morning I had hoped she would be feeling better, but she was not. She was following me, right under my feet. I was attempting to get ready to go to the party when she got under my feet, between my knees and I fell both forward and back, hitting the floor very hard.
I was furious! And upset, and everything hurt!
But poor Lili was just terrified, and came to me for comfort. The end result was not what she expected, or me for that matter!
Then we packed the car, got Lili settled in her room, with fresh water, her favorite toy and a brand new bone.
We had the air conditioning set, and curtains drawn, as our weather forecast was for very hot weather.
After a short drive down, we arrived just in time to watch Mandy and Savi swimming, and Matt finishing up mowing the lawn.
We quickly changed into our suits and I went right in. I love to play in the pool with Savi!
Hubby!
Matt’s parent’s arrived, then our cousins, Janet and Dave. The party members were complete!
We drank wine, ate nuts and pop corn and suddenly it seemed lunch was ready. Hot dogs, hamburgers, stuffed eggs, potato salad, fruit salad and a wonderful mango/bean/quinoa salsa. Mandy also made cupcakes and cake
Cheeseburgers
Mango,bean and quinoa salsa
Everything was great. The company even better, and even though the afternoon raced by, it was a relaxed and wonderful one.

Janet floating and sipping and Dave living the good life!
We started home a little earlier than normal, because we were worried about LIli. And I am glad we did. I think every man, woman, and child in New Hampshire is shooting off fireworks once again tonight. Poor Lili has found a dark tight space in the hallway and is hiding.
But it was a wonderful day, and I managed to stay off the floor and out of trouble for the rest of the day. I even sceduled in a hot bath to soak my slightly aching body.
Life, my friends, is so very good!!!
Sounds and looks like it was a very perfect summer day with family! Hope you stop aching soon.
Such a wonderful day! Hope all your bumps are feeling better and hopefully not much Fireworks tonight. Love YOU, Mel
