4th Of July Is Next Weekend, Any Plans?

Maybe my eyesight is worse than I thought but haven't seen anything here about 4th of July plans. Lots of Christmas talk though.

Are you having or going to a cookout? I thought after last year being a bust it would be a big topic.

DH's nephew always has a huge picnic. I'm talking 80/100 people. A ton of food. The nephew, his wife and her brother supply 1/2 chickens that they BBQ. He does a great chicken. Last year he added ribs. Always the usual burgers and hot dogs too.

They have a large piece of property with a pavillion, electricity for refrigerators for cold stuff. Room for kids to run, play ball, the older cousins (the 50 yr. olds) play cards or trival pursuit etc. Band and and fireworks at night.

It is next Saturday. Not sure if I am going. No specific reason just not sure I want to deal with a few of his relatives.

Actual 4th, no plans. What are you doing for the weekend of the 4th.?

Since we have never been 'large gathering' type of people, probably at home grilling a rack of ribs. Whatever makes us feel safe, sound, happy, and proud to be Americans.

We'll be grilling and eating with family, then watching fireworks! I'm looking forward to it!

Haha! We'll be watching city fireworks, but in years past when my husband and some of the other neighborhood pyromaniacs put on their own show, I'm the one fussing at them and holding the fire extinguisher!

We are moving next week, so we will probably spend most of the weekend unpacking.

There are a few options to choose from in my area but haven't decided which one/s to go to yet. On the actual 4th though - church.

So far no invites so I will end up treating myself to a steak and salad and listen to the fireworks all night. lol

I'll be home alone on the 4th. It's become a pattern with me. I. Hate. Holidays.

I'm sure the neighbors catty corner behind our house and through a small section of woods will do fireworks. They usually do and that's fine with me, but they usually set them off till maybe 3 or 4 in the morning. Bedroom is on the back side of the house. I never sleep through them.

@gidgetgh I am with you on holidays. When I was younger, had energy, joints that didn't hurt and wasn't just plain old tired, I enjoyed them. Kids were little/young and that was fun.

Now, well, holidays are pretty much just another day. Way too much hoopla and work for one day.

Just a weekend like any other weekend. I have my usual Saturday commitments.

No. We can no longer plan ahead for too much anymore.

Pretty sure just what I do every Sat., go out with my sister. I hear my neighbor is having around 50 people at his house on Sat. so I'm thinking that I won't be getting any sleep that night. Sun. guess I'll catch up on my sleep.
