Fourth of July 2010

Thank goodness for three day weekends.  This one involved a mix of being lazy and finishing unpacking.  Sunday we went to our friends' house for a nice little pool party and bbq.  The food was yummy and I had my first corn pudding experience.  Delicious! 

We ran a lot of errands and I scared Bobby when I saw this on the road!  I was so excited to see another Peugeot just like the one I drove in high school and part of college.  Same color and everything!  Memories.

The Fourth of July always reminds me of going to the fireworks stand with my dad and setting them off at home. My favorite was  the chicken that shoots out sparks and squeals.  I love those things! 

Bobby and I skipped out on fireworks and stayed home with Kywjibo.  I'm glad we did because she gets freaked out and this has been a rough few days for the pup adjusting to a new place.  We had a scare with her yesterday and took her to the vet but she seems to be getting back to her old self.  I lived with a dog before (Julianne's sweet pup, Mary) and I was attached to her, but I'm really attached to Kwyjibo.  Bobby has had her for 11 years so you can only imagine how much he loves her.  Kwyjibo has shown me how important animals can be to people.  I kid you not that it relaxes me to sit there and play with her or pet her.  We're still waiting to see how she does on new meds, but I'm happy to see that she seems to be getting better.
