4th of July 2014...58º

Looking forward to a quiet day at home, interrupted by occasional fireworks...Pat and I have yardsaling planned for this morning...A music jubilee starts at 11am in downtown Joseph and continues throughout the day and into the evening...The real show starts at 10pm tonight with fireworks at Wallowa Lake.

Many years ago Pam and I would pack up our lawn chairs, quilts, Irish Cream and hot chocolate...Early afternoon we would park a car (headed home) at the foot of the lake and late evening Herb would drop us and our "gear" off at the Chief Joseph Monument and we would spend the evening, sipping our drink and waiting for the fireworks to start...The fireworks weren't much back then but the comradery was what it was all about...Now the fireworks are hi-tech and the crowd and traffic is more than we want to deal with...A glass of wine on the deck will be enough celebration...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

PS...Our patch of volunteer poppies in the driveway are putting on a show for the 4th of July!
