Happy Fourth!


According to MessyMimi who is a great source kooky calendar events (and adorable cats): Today is also St. Ulrich's Day!

This is good to know given that he is the Patron Saint of peaceful deaths, pregnant women and weavers. Plus, he can protect you against birth complications, dizziness, faintness, fever, frenzy, mice, moles, and vertigo.

Anyway, whether you are Canadian and are still recovering from your national holiday, or are American and are going to do something Fourthy today, have fun!


We're going to be having dinner with some lovely neighbors and dodging Hurricane Arthur, who is being a butthead and causing our fireworks to be postponed until tomorrow night.  

Anyone actually around today? Got any fun plans?

  2. Death Ride GrandmaJuly 4, 2014 at 9:40 AM

    We're hoping there will be some fireworks up in the Sierras, where we will be heading later today. I am starting altitude acclimation for the Death Ride, which is 8 days away. Sorry about that hurricane, Crabby. At least they didn't cancel your fireworks altogether. I hope the storm is reasonably gentle with Provincetown.

  3. Happy 4th of July! Sorry Arthur is wreaking havoc with the fireworks, but dinner with friends sounds lovely.

    Today I will accompany The Boss to the airport and make sure he gets on a plane. He is headed west for a couple of weeks…so exciting!

  4. Almost recuperated from Canada Day! We were supposed to have storms on Canada Day as well so I planned accordingly and it was sunny and super hot all day and I was so busy I never got my ice cream cone I promised myself.

  5. I am, of course, working. Since the kennel is closed for the holiday, it's remarkably peaceful, though not quiet. Home for lunch now.

  6. Video was cute. Glad no one was hurt! Ouch. Gives a new meaning to "hot dog"

    I'll be BBQing by the pool with friends day.

  8. Leave it to you to drop some knowledge on the holiday.

    We have our best friends coming to stay with us for the weekend and expect to have lots of grilling and pool time, you know, once that jerk Arthur leaves.
