Well it is that day of the year again, where people feel it si their god given right as americans to get drunk and set off explosives and start fires af all varieties.

Tonight we are staying in and watching movies. I have my friends 2 daughter's till Friday afternoon. So we went from 3 kids to 5. It is actualy pretty quiet considering.

This morning there was a wonderfull thunderstorm that rolled in at about 7am. It was HUGE. The thunder was almost continuous. We woke up at that gawdawefull hour of the morning and sat up till it all past just listening and watching. It was very peacefull. I miss mornings like that when I was living in Arizona. Although Oregon is pretier in it's own way.
