We had a great Saturday today (and even better knowing this is a 3-day weekend). David and I went to the "Fun 4th" Festival in downtown Greensboro (of course, the 4th isn't actually until tomorrow, but you get the idea). I have gone to the Fun 4th almost every year since I was born and wouldn't want to miss it. We started out the morning with the parade...
Where else can you see a hot dog in a t-shirt?
Or have your picture taken with this attractive character?
I got to talk to the women from the Guilford County Republican Party (was SO glad to see the GOP represented out there this year),
And we got to see the Revolutionary War reinactors fire their muskets
After the festival was over, David and I decided that everyone needs to do a little work around the house, even during a holiday weekend. So we came home and, for the afternoon, I pulled off the wallpaper in our master bath so that we could paint that room soon. (I am standing on something in this photo which is why I look so tall!)
David, on the other hand, worked in the yard all afternoon. He does such a good job with the landscaping! Sadly, today the he and the lawnmower happened to stumble upon a yellow jackets nest. I took a picture of one of his stings, on his foot. It is hard to see the sting in this picture due to the brightness, but it was most definitely there! I felt so sorry for him (I have stepped on a yellow-jackets nest before and did not care for it!), but after a few minutes of rest he went right back to work!
Despite the yellow jacket incident, we had a great day! We finished up the day with dinner and are now watching the Coke Zero 500 on TV. What a great day and what a blessing that we still have 2 more full days in this holiday weekend! :-) Hopefully by the the end of the long weekend we will have a new nephew, as David's sister is supposed to have her baby on Monday. We will write more about that at the time...we are so excited!!!!
