It's been a nice 3-day weekend. We had an Englishman stay with us Thursday night and then dropped him off the next morning so he could travel with his fellow Englishpeople - he's part of a choir and their touring the area for 2 weeks then going back to the pond. It was brilliant.
We tried walking to the fireworks but the rain and not realizing it was a 2-mile walk derailed that plan at the 1-mile mark. But it was still fun taking a late night stroll.
Saturday was grocery shopping and yard work and we watched Chicken Little. After the kiddos went to bed we tried to watch Babel but it was too stressful watching these people's lives and worrying that it was only going to get worse and have no happy ending. I'll have to do a search and find a review with a spoiler. Of yeah, and we went to one of those .25 cent library book sales and watched a 4th of July parade.
And today is church, then neighborhood softball game and then maybe pie with our neighbors.
Nothing terribly exciting - but wonderfully relaxing. I'm actually reading for pleasure this week. I've started "The portrait of Dorian Grey" but it makes me very sad so I don't know if I'll finish it. I picked up a modern English version of Canterbury Tales, which I'm enjoying more since in the 'General Prologue' pretty much everyone is of good, and kind nature - very upstanding people these :)
Hmm...seems to be a very merry "english" sort of weekend...maybe I'll go have a spot of tea.

Sounds spot on: lovely and lazy (well, maybe not that fireworks trek) and idyllic. We parked it at the top of Burr Road, which gave us access to the works over on Woodlawn Lake in the distance, and right in our faces from those snoots behind their fence at the Country Club.
murat: funny you should mention the drive and park view -- I was sharing that SA tradition with a friend here :) sounds like y'all also had a fantabulous 4th.
