Happy Birthday America

     4th of July, the day America celebrates our independence from England.  We did ( with a little help from the French - go figure! Lol)  Apparently Mother England was too "loose" in their ways.  While I'm glad we have a free country, I don't think they were too loose.  But I wasn't alive then, I am here now, I love England, always have. I know several people there, a good friend is from there. I could easily live there.  They know ceremony, I like a good ceremony! They do this very well.  I was treated to a private look see at The Ceremony Of  The Keys.  I was told glorious and amusing tales by a very lovely gentleman who is friends with the people I know over there. I forgot his title (beg pardon) but he's high up there.  I had a delightful time and the Tower Of London is a bit ethereal at night. I could almost imagine it lit by torches. Lots of shadowy doorways and roads leading off to other parts of the castle. One can easily imagine murder and lustful encounters.  Anyway....sorry went back there for a moment.  Oh yes, right, USA independence.  I love my country, we are a bit broken right now but I have faith that one day it will once again right itself. So happy birthday America, may our flag fly over us in peace.
     On another note, I write this from my couch, covered in a throw blanket as I am no feeling well. I caught a bug it seems. Same one that was showing itself at work last week. Intestinal issues that make for a crappy long weekend. No pun intended. This combined with the ongoing threat of rain yesterday and today, do not lend oneself to major motivation. Especially when ones plans were really to go out and follow our noses. To a farm stand or two, or perhaps dome fireworks.  The fireworks were supplied by the high school nearby. We can see them bursting into their silvery twinkles. It's nice to be able to sit on your front deck and watch, music playing, and iced tea in hand.  Today has not been great. I feel worse, gave not eaten anything since the plain rice I et last night. Just not hungry. Hubs made me tea thus morning, which was lovely. I'm now enjoying a herbal peach tisane, not a tea as there's no tea leaves in it.  That's right, I know proper terminology LOL I'm getting asked if I want more rice, oatmeal, bagel. No, nothing thank you. Then a hamburger and potato salad crosses my mind but I quickly dismiss the thought. Cuddles helped before. They often do. Here's a secret, I can be a bit needy, especially when I'm not feelin that great. I'm sure I'll feel better soon.
      Besides our country, there's a lot of birthdays today. First and foremost, it is the anniversary of my   Nan's birthday. This is my dad's mother.  Plus a few friends, and my angel of a neighbor. So I have wished them a happy day. Hubs is watching Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel. He is entertaining enough.   As soon as hubs gets a job, we are going for sushi. The show on now is showing eel. I like eel. My grandpa ( the one I never met) liked it too. Had to get it from somewhere. My moms idea of fish anything was Cod and Shrimp.  Lol
       I'm really enjoying this peach beverage, love peaches. Did you know that? I love them, and strawberries, kiwis, melon of all types and fresh corn, tomatoes, asparagus, if it wasn't for those hot fresh loves if bread I'd be a lot smaller. hahaha. Mm bread. ( said in best Homer Simpson voice.
I'm debating on watching Game Of Thrones, I have the first 5 seasons on loan. Not sure if I'm into anything that "heavy".
So that's my thrilling weekend weekend. Some very cool stuff coming up, not going to tell but it's worth watching for.   So until next time Ciao For Now
