Fun 4th of July

 I don't have many pics but T spent the weekend at the lake with Davis and then came home to a party at the McConathy's.  He even watched the fireworks from the roof of their house!





I squeezed in a dinner with Tippi and Michele and made the most of a long - and fun - day!

I've always been told I always have a job at Disaster Plus.  I'm sure that's true. That's just who they are.
