Happy 4th!

Went to the park for a little family reunion and breakfast this morning.

Tried a new, interesting way of making omelets: crack an egg or two into a small ziploc baggie; add veggies/meat; seal bag; boil bag in a pot of boiling water until it looks done. Tah-duh! No mess to clean up. Very handy. You learn something new every day, I guess.

My best friend from childhood, Michelle, was there this morning. You see, I liked Michelle's family so much growing up, I married into it. And that's how I get to go to their family reunions.


(Michelle used to be the blond one.)

It was good to see everyone! You'd think we could get together more often. We don't live that far away from each other, and yet, never manage to get together. If only I could talk Michelle into riding bikes...
