July 3, and I'm just home from Grandma's, where my cousin put on an awesome fireworks show last night. Tonight, Dad's side is coming to our house, and while fireworks are expected, it seems possible weather will keep us indoors.

That, however, is hours away. Right now, there's light rain and gentle thunder, and I have A Prairie Home Companion on the radio and a cup of special coffee next to me. Knitting will soon commence.
