Today, was a holiday in the U.S. - Independence Day. But even among the celebrating with a big dinner and talking about what a great privilege it is to be a citizen of this country I was still able to get some things done.

I finished reading "Feminists Say the Darndest Things" by Mike Adams.  A little raunchy because of the topics important to radical feminists, but dripping with sarcasm.  Too bawdy to recommend, but the kids kept wanting to know what I was laughing at.I added all the church images I could find to the church web site.
I started Hannah on her first book report for pay.
I took the three oldest to the park.  Then I went on with the older boys to the high school and the track.
I ate too much dinner, including corn on the cob, macaroni salad and dessert, and had a good nap!
I got the lyrics for Laura's penultimate quarter teaching Cradle Roll typed up.
I kept working on my Set of Sail web site layout.

Over dinner we peppered the kids with American history questions - they did pretty good.
