What a holiday today is...sleeping in, watching movies, swimming this afternoon in a friend's pool with my family, then music and food and fireworks tonight. My friend Jane plays the flute in the Bella Vista community band, and we're going to their patriotic concert tonight. It's at beautiful Blowing Springs park, and we're meeting up with her family beforehand to have a picnic and let the kids play in the stream that runs next to the pavillion. We did this last year, and it was the perfect way to spend this particular holiday--because of the demographics of Bella Vista, many of the concert goers are older members of the community, and several of them are veterans, which makes this event even more meaningful. Afterwards, we'll all head off to watch the large local fireworks display and then set some smaller ones off in our neighborhood. What a Fourth! Family, friends, food, fun, fireworks...I'll have lots of pictures to post and scrapbook later!
In the meantime, enjoy your day. And while you're at it, remember the reason this day is a holiday and give thanks for those who fought--and are still fighting and working today--to give us our freedom in this great country.
