July 4th and it was hot, hot, hot!
We worked in the garden this morning but came in pretty early.
Went to the matinee movie to get out of the heat - Toy Story 3 - fantastic!
Ate ice cream and went to the local fireworks tonight.
The show was not as good as last year but this time I took my camera. Actually got some nice photos.
July brings lots of things:
The Tour de France, clinics in Washington state and summer weather.
We are going to be in the 90's all week and so dry! No rain in sight.
Oh well, in the afternoons I can come in and watch the Tour. I got hooked on watching that at a clinic in Colorado years ago! The clinic was delayed so that we could all sit down and watch the final day riding into Paris.
Now it seems like the Tour is a July ritual watching beautiful scenery, drama and cycling through France. The castles and towns are really quite amazing.
I will be heading out west to Washington state soon for 3 clinics: Spokane, Vashon ( a private clinic) and Maple Valley. All old friends whom I am looking forward to seeing again.
Sometimes it is hard to believe that I come from a blue collar family, am the only child of 3 with a college degree, I own my own business, own my own home, travel the world, teach riding, authored two books and live in a town platted by George Washington when he was 16 years old.
I don't think that I would be able to have this kind of opportunity in any other country in the world. For this I am truly grateful to be an American celebrating this July 4th, our Independence Day.
