I will be home alone and our temps have been around 106 every day and they will continue, so won't be watching any parades, etc.

I could have gone to the coast to my daughters and cooler temps but she has her in laws visiting from Illinois.

Any barbecues planned??
 

Selena, We too will be staying in doors. We are in the county, it is illegal to set off fireworks in the city, so starting a few days ago people come out here to fire them. This goes on for about 2 or 3 weeks around here.
 
Our two fur babies huddle in their large dog house next to the porch. Miss Amber is hard of hearing, so she'll sleep through it. Izzy will probably bark a lot as he peeps through the window for a couple of days. He also barks at our dumpster truck once a week. They have to drive onto our land to get to it, and that ticks him off. I think he'd try to bite the truck if we'd just let out.

Same here Ina .. I'm out in the county with fireworks stands all around, and dogs going berserk!!! I am glad that I finally got thundershirts for the dogs .. something I learned about on this board last year. They do really seem to help dogs with their anxiety.
 
I live in a senior community, and the 4th of July is Big Doings here. We're having a parade by all the different clubs and activities here, followed by a short concert of songs by our Chorale (of which I am a member.) We're singing patriotic songs of the various branches of military service, a medley of American songs (This Land is Your Land, Oh Shenandoah, On Top of Old Smokey, and others), and ending with a beautiful choral arrangement of America the Beautiful. Then we're having lunch on the lanai by the pool.

It's hot today, in the 90's, but it's supposed to cool off by Friday. Let's hope, anyway!
 
Bonnie, They chewed them off each other. We can't leave anything laying around the yard unless we're try to get rid of it. They are 2 and 3 years olds. We'll sure be glad when they quit, if they ever do. :grrr:

That sounds like a classic fourth of July! Enjoy! :)
 
He who goes forth on the fourth with a fifth, may not come forth on the fifth!

Probably light up the grill and char some dead critter; no one here drinks so soda and iced tea will be the beverages of choice. Personal fireworks are illegal here on Independence Day, there is no limit to the irony of that law, but there are a few public displays around for those who choose to suffer the ensuing traffic jams.
 
I am alone as well on this fourth of July as my daughter and grand kids are at Pismo to escape the valley heat. The apartment complex in which I live is having a bar b q by the pool with fun and games despite the heat. I will be giving some lessons in the game of Petanque.
 
Jackie, I'll have your family in my heart until you tell us he is OK. That was my last straw in 2008, I had the same condition, and they did reconstructive colon and intestinal surgery on me. I ended up feeling that was the easy part. His diet will have to change dramatically. I'll be praying for your family.:praying:
 
We are going to our good friend`s daughter`s 8th grade "graduation" party. There were so many parties for both 8th graders and high schoolers in May that they decided to have hers on the 4th. Not sure about after that. We always used to go to our city park where they have a big fireworks show on the lake but a few years ago we figured out that if we walk up the hill from our daughter`s house,we can sit at the top and have an amazing view of the sky above the park. So who knows. I know son and DIL want to go to the park and show off the new baby to everyone-and my new grandbaby is quite the draw for me,especially since I haven`t seen her since my household started with the stomach bug a week ago and I didn`t want to risk infecting her with it. But since I haven`t gotten it by today,I am declaring myself past the danger point and assume I`m home free-knock on wood!
