Saturday 7-4-26 Happy 250th Birthday U.S. & Having Fun


 

Happy Fourth of July 


Happy Fourth of July everyone. Happy 250th birthday America. 

Today was very exciting because it was America's 250th birthday. Our neighbor behind us celebrated the 4th by having a pool party. Other neighbors had a lot of fireworks. They started them about 8:30 pm and went on until 10:30 pm. We just stayed at home.  

The morning temperature was 75 degrees and the high was 99 degrees. It was hot so we just hung a round the house.



The at our house at 5:00 99 degrees



We did leave the house in the morning for a little bit before it got too hot. We took the Minnie out for a ride. Larry tries to take it for a ride now and then to make sure the generator and the Minnie runs correctly. Larry drove the Minnie a few miles with the generator running. The generator started right up. The Minnie and the generator ran excellent. 

On the way home we stopped by Walmart to pick up a few things for our July 4th celebration. We hadn't had hot dogs in years and they sounded good perfect for the 4th of July. We also got buns to go with them along with a couple of desserts. We bought a piece of  carrot cake and tow pieces of  turtle pie cheese cake. The cheese cake says it should thaw in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating it so that will be for tomorrow. We also picked up wedge potatoes to go with the hot dogs. We were very surprised that Walmart wasn't busy. Maybe because it was 9:00 am.




Hot dogs for lunch and dinner



In the afternoon Larry started to read a book. I played games.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Klondike Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 5 minutes and 47 seconds to complete, which put me in 5th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I worked out with the Wii Fit for 45 minutes. I did two exercised off the Aerobics menu for 10 minutes, which were Basic Run Long Distance for 2 minutes and Rhythm Boxing for 8 minutes.
