Hello my friends...

Did you all have a wonderful break from reality? I did and it seriously felt like the weekend to me. I went fun shopping, grocery shopping, saw my sister Melinda, all in enough time to cook up dinner and pick up some fun drinks to watch the fireworks.

This year we decided to stay home and watch the fireworks which turned out quirte nicely. We headed over to a nearby school and climbed up to the roof and hung out there until the shows were all over. I saw shows becuase we must have seen fireworks from at least 10 different locations.

The main San Jose (downtown) show was lame - seriously it sucked. Not only did it start long after the other shows, but it lasted about a third of the time. They didn't have all of the fun fireworks that they usually do and shortly after the start they busted out the grand finale - I was so angry. The Cupertino & Great America (I think it was G.A.) shows were great; both lasted for a long time and and the grande finales were so fun. I thought it was a giant burning ball in the air from where we were.

All in all it was a good night. I fell asleep soon after we came back inside because I hadn't slept weel the night before, but it was a fun day off. Until next time...have fun and be safe.
