So, my 4th of July was interesting. We were supposed to take our annual trip up to Family Camp at the Lake, but a little fire decided to adjust those plans.
My grandfather burned some brush piles we had, thinking how cool it is to burn brush on the 4th of July (weird, I know. It goes back to when he was a kid.) Well, it caught fire to the woods, and he, my dad, my brother and my uncle spent the evening/night getting that under control.
The title of this post comes from my brother’s description of it. (The pic of the soot-covered legs is his. It was bad. They all reeked, too.)
I hope nobody else had any similar misadventures on Independence Day!!
On a good note, however, I also had another baby cousin born yesterday!
A ‘perfect American Girl’. Her folks don’t live near us, though, so I have yet to see her . . . and probably won’t for awhile. But she’s hearty and healthy (as is mommy) for which I’m so thankful.
Blessings,
Em
