Happy Birthday America! The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday; it's in the summer so everybody is geared for an outdoor celebration and there are no prescribed activities, with the possible exception of fireworks. For us this year, though, we just weren't up for anything. We had ice cream at Frosty Boy and watched the Tigers - that was it. (Seriously.) Next year, though, I expect we'll be taking in some fireworks with the PSO or over Lady Liberty.
Yesterday we headed to Lansing again for a day of crafting. First we visited Mackerel Sky, an East Lansing craft gallery, for some gift shopping. Then we kept up the same craft theme at Jacqueline's on the other side of town. Her day had been scheduled full, but some changes meant we spent more time than had been expected, including last Clara's and some great creative release in her craft-cache of a basement.
Today is also Wednesday, so not only is it a last, but the "this time next week" cycle has begun. As I type this, we're just a 'this time next week' away from a trip to TVC to collect the best man and other late-night arrivals.
