this has been the least 4th-y fourth of july i’ve ever spent in this country.. we did none of our normal traditions.. no parade, no wander round the park and no fireworks.. We were too busy cleaning our @#%^#*$@ attic and finishing our yard sale.. in the longest and hottest heat wave I can ever rememebr here. 

 

day started with me taking Gabe to the airport for his trip to equador.. he’s so excited !

 

 

hh foudn the travel antibiotics !

 

 

then headed home, but not fast enough to get through before they blocked the road for the parade.. I went around.. 

which meant 12.5 extra miles.. 

 

got home and started in on the yard sale.. todaty was the last day.. we got rid of SO many things.. including books.. I love books.. but I dont need ot keep he ones I’ve already read.. it braught back grat memories of all these great reds 

 

lots of freinds driopped by.. here’s claire 

 

found some cool stuff.. liek a chekc from our wonderful lage frirend and roomate ryan 

 

our friend Henry, milan and their son harry dropped by.. we enjoyed hanging out with them
