My 4th of July and other misses... opps - did I say misses?

My first 4th of Jul celebration in NY sure started out right - yummy breakfast with Sal's Westcott breakfast club at Garden's Diner, followed by a good workout - yard work!! After that, watched bits and pieces of Women's Wimbledon finals (show down between VS sisters!) while I made Apple-Potato salad. DODO made his very own special cheeseburger and deviled eggs and to top it off, Sal made baked beans and mean, mean chocolaty cup cakes... one can imagine the "cookout" lunch was TWO thumbs up!

Even our flight back to NY was great! Boarded on time, took off on time, landed in JFK on time!! Can you imagine... yes, it actually landed on time! This got to be the perfect-est 4th of Jul ever!

We get home, slouch on our personal black leather armchair and await the final moment to end off our 4th of Jul... fireworks! Fireworks on the rooftop of DODO's apt... Oooo.. it got to be good! Well.. 9.15 pm came, both of us ran up to the roof (we were watching Bond).. as we ran, we heard the loud sound made by the fireworks.. gotto be good... gotto be.. TADA - no sight of the firework!!! Hey, where is it??? Oh man, blocked by the buildings.... I did a few jumps, caught the tip of some of the big fireworks but that was abt it. How did we get soooo wrong?

Oh well, guess we don't need fireworks to end off the 4th of July right? Didn't take us long to hurry back home... and climb into bed and sleep the rest of 4th of Jul away.

Thanks DODO for my first 4th of Jul celebrations... enjoyed it throughly!
