What a wonderful day. Forgetting to take Aggrenox really helped!! We had a great lesson in RS about the founding of our country followed by a good SS lesson on the Psalms and then a very spiritual Testimony meeting. We had so many visitors who shared their feelings about God and America, it was very exceptional. One group was a singles group from Berkley. What a bright group of young people.
Marjorie and I drove through Chester which was filled with people. Bro Goolsby said they signed up over 500 people for the Fun Run--and of course, this was the big 4th of July Parade which was great. We missed it, however, as did all our visitors at Church, as it was the same time! Lots of people at the Craft Fair but we did not partake in any of that, just had our usual Sunday Faire at the Happy Garden.
It was a beautiful Lake Almanor day and the lake looks bigger every time we cross the causeway--truly the highest I have ever seen it.
At night I skipped the Lake Almanor fireworks again and went back and forth between the Macy's and Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular--so excellent. Then I had recorded the Capitol 4th which was over the top. David Archeleta, Gladys Knight, Reba McEntyre, Hewie and the Blow Fish plus lots of fancy bands and flags. Very impressive. It was the first time I had seen and heard Lang Lang, the pianist. Wow, so amazing. The celebration was very God and patriotic oriented and the President of the US was not there.
It was a great night for a couch potato. Oh yes, I had a wonderful Miller's Hot Dog, sweet watermelon, potato salad 4th of July celebration as well.
As a culmination I watched '3,2,1 Fireworks' which shows how these spectacular pyro shows are made from start (China) to finish. Each of those beautiful rockets is made by hand!!! Imagine, but what an industry for China.
Congratulations to Kathy Hardy, who won the 5K in her division in the San Jose area. She is so amazing--older than me and so fit, I am truly ashamed for being such an old, unfit, lazy person.
It was such a great day for bringing home again how blessed we are to live in America and what a God blessed nation we are and we better not forget it. God Bless America.
