Today is Independence Day, celebrating the day in 1776 that the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, and the United States officially broke from the rule of England. (Of course, there's lots more to it than that!!)

Today's pictures are from the fireworks display in Idaho Falls. These may have been from when my first digital camera was brand new. I happened to be over there for other reasons, shopping and such, that year, and stayed with Mary Ann Cherry which was most enjoyable visit. They went to a barbecue with friends and then we stood on the bank of the Snake River to watch the fireworks. It was fun. (Just a note about the pictures, I sent them as a group to myself in an email, which made them "smaller". Then saved them to the desktop and downloaded them to the blog from there. They download quickly that way.)

Quiet morning. Despite the predictions there was no rain. This morning it is lovely out with mostly sunny skies. Looks like the lurking clouds could mass into thunderheads this afternoon though. We will be going in to town for dinner with James and Kathy and their guests and it remains to be seen if we can stay up and get back to the ranch after the fireworks there. We could stay at the house in Pinedale but Joe still needs to pump water.

If one day soon I don't blog, there is definitely something bad wrong with this computer. Its a possibility it could crash, and at least the next time I go to town I'll take it in to someone to have them going through everything, condition or whatever. I tried system restore, and that won't work.

I've been painting.
