4th of July


They do not seem to care much about the fourth of July here. It's not even a holiday so Alan had to work as usual. After work we went to the base and had a wonderful celebration. With bar b q ribs and hot dogs. There was also rides for the little ones and black jack and horse racing (with funny money of course) for the adults. The only thing that was missing was apple pie. Since it does not get dark here until 10:30 or so the fireworks were to late for us to stay. I heard it was a great show but ever so quiet. They have to take the bang out of the fire works as the cows complain by not producing as much milk the next day. Which makes for some unhappy base neighbors. Happy Fourth!!

That's too funny about scaring the cows. Learn something every day!
