So I didn't get a chance to get on here yesterday at all so hope all of you who celebrate, had an awesome 4th of July. I hope all of you that like to use the fire works are not starting your day with a new nick name, like finger or lefty. I had a good day and made my rounds and ate to much food. I drove (33 miles) to my daughters house for a while, seen the whole little family including the grandkids and had a burger and chips, then we headed to my oldest son's place (24 miles) and hung out with him for a while and had steak and some potato salad. Then (39 miles) to my dad's for a quick hello and off to mom's (9 miles) to say hello, and some chips and a few cookies. Then up (27 miles) to the older of my two sisters, where both my sisteres were for the day. Of course I had to have a brat and sauerkraut, cause nothing says America like Sauerkraut LOL. Then the short (21 miles) ride back home. Nothing like a near 150 miles covered in Wisconsin and Illinois for your 4th of July. But I did it with my youngest son and we had a great time listening to music and talking and laughing. Of course by the time I got home I was so tired. I didn't see fireworks cause I was to tired to go any where else and I had to work this morning so I went to sleep pretty early. The day was good, I seen the whole family and I didn't lose any fingers so it was a win all around.

@Bensen32 I know what you mean. I don't know why but the older we get, the less we seem to see of each other.

Yea, it's nice to see the family when we can get together. Would have been better if they were all in one place but that hardly ever happens anymore.
