Pill comes every year for my birthday on July 6th. She came on the 4th this year so we had a little extra time. We went to an old fashioned BBQ in Lillian and had BBQ beef, sausage, corn on the cob, baked beans, grilled onions/peppers. They could have rolled me out of the place and back into my car! Then we headed for the beach to watch fireworks after dark. They were better than last year ! We picked a different part of the beach and it was more fun and there were more fireworks. There were so many individuals that were shooting off their own and we ended up surrounded by noise and lights and colors !!! What a way to celebrate our country's independence. Pill said "It was spectacular"! We sat for two and a half hours and just watched in silence! What a fun way to start her visit. Rachel is in Alaska and said the fireworks start about midnight. Mandy is home with Rachel's puppy.
