4th of July and other stuff

We had a really nice 4th of July. Great Grandma came up to visit and kicked our you know what's in cards all week long! Aly and Ryan (& the dogs) came on the day of and we had macaroni salad,bbq teriyaki, fresh fruit, chips and red, white and blue jello(which I forgot to serve!) After dinner we played games with grandma then when it was time got the chairs out and went in our driveway to watch the fireworks!. We had great seats and weather and did not have to drive any where. For a small town Happy Valley puts on a pretty good show. For a quiet as our neighborhood is it was really busy with kids/adults that evening and by morning all the fireworks were cleaned up on the street. It was amazing! Summer is finally here! Grandma left for home on Friday and Jim followed her down to pick up our trailer. I stayed home to rest because I am sick. I have had a really bad cough (you know the one) since the middle of June. I went to the Dr. on Monday and I got some medicine, then by Thursday nothing had changed so I got more medicine and an inhaler for my asthma. My urgency in getting this better is because we are going to a family reunion next week and I do not want to be coughing the whole time. Keren was in town because her granddaughter was getting baptized. It was so fun to see her and get to talk with her. She seem's lonely and not liking Florida very much. We had a good time. I miss her. I was hoping that I could go to Florida and visit but it is really expensive, and I am not sure I will have to time. I have also been sewing on Aly baby quilt. She picked lots of colors and a cute pattern. It is not a hard pattern so it is moving along quite nicely. Hopefully I will get it all done before I have to go back to school, which seem like it is just around the corner!
