I know, it is not the 4th quite yet. But I am going by the Saturday/Sunday holiday law. But according to our Government, when a holiday falls on a Saturday, then the day before is the official holiday. So Happy Birthday to All Americans and those that are studying to be one.
What are your plans for the big day? BBQing? Opening the pool? Visiting someone else at their backyard for the fun times? My daughter is going up to NH for the whole weekend. They have friends that live right on the lake and yet have a huge swimming pool. About 15+ years ago, I went up there with them. I was taught that when you visit a home for the first time, you go with a gift in hand. So I bought a set of horseshoes for Eddie and his wide. . Every weekend that the house is open and someone is up there, that set comes out and they have some serious games. I thought for sure that some of the shoes would be damaged or lost. Nope. They take care of that game of horseshoes as if it was one of the kids. Eddie even now keeps a large note book with everyone's scores, when the game was played, etc. They have even had tournaments.
So give yourself a treat and buy a horseshoe set. All you have to do is just set it up when you are expecting to hold activities in the yard. The game has a life of its own. Someone will pickup that first horseshoe, and the game is on.
