Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was not an official holiday, but it was the one we observed. I took full advantage of the long weekend starting on Friday afternoon.
Diana came up to spend the weekend with us (we were suppose to go to Utah and since Dave has not been feeling well, suffice it to say, two 11 hour car rides wasn't the best plan!) and we had the best time! We started things off by spending the afternoon on Friday at the river. Mason and Diana were not the least bit put-off by the cold water, heck, after an hour or so in the heat of the day, it didn't seem quite so cold to me either! We grilled some dinner back at the house and enjoyed the meal overlooking the canyon on the front deck. After dinner we did my favorite thing of all, we made a fire in the backyard and roasted marshmallows! Diana made a strawberry-rhubarb pie (Dave's FAVORITE!) so me being me, I tried it out on a s'more. Not bad. Not bad. Smiling!
On Saturday, Diana and I went to the Auburn farmer's market and did some wholesome shopping; peaches, tomatoes (finally!), and fresh flowers. We tinkered around the house and headed back over to the river. It's a real perk living just one mile away from the confluence! We made our way home for a shower and an early dinner and then it was off to the Folsom Rodeo. Yep, we went and watched the bull and broncs. Unbeknownst to us, the rodeo was sold out, but when we parked the car and were offered two-for-one tickets, we said, "Heck yeah!" Was that lucky or what? We did a little dancing after the rodeo and wrapped up the Girls Night Out a little later that we originally planned...laughing, is 1 AM late or early?
Sunday was a hot one, it was darn near 90 outside before noon. What do you think we did? Yep! We went to the river, the whole bunch of us. We splished and splashed and floated down the rapids while waving our American flags! Others on the beach cheered and clapped. It was quite a time. Mason even got to walk up stream and ride the rapids down by himself a few times. Sunday afternoon we made our way to the fairgrounds for the Auburn Family Fun Fourth parade and fireworks show. Dave's dad showed up, we grilled some dinner, met some other friends and all in all, It was just a fun, fun time.
Monday rolled around and before sending Diana back to the bay, we made one more trek to the river...four days in a row! That's a record for me, though it shouldn't be, I live only one mile away! Laughing! I hope you all had as wonderful a July 4th weekend as we all did and even though it was a jam packed weekend, there were many conversations about gratitude, the freedoms that we love, and what a great place America is to live and call home! We'll get through these tough times because we are a tough bunch! Lots of love! Kathy
