A belated Happy 4th of July!!

(AOL, combined with the evil machinations of some porn software we're not sure who downloaded onto my parents' computer, conspired to leave me without internet access for over 24 hours (the horror!!), which is why I am only now able to post this.)

I drove three hours to get Home yesterday, to be greeted at the door with BBQ (how cool is that?). We then went to the restaurant where my brother works, which happens to have a perfect view of Pismo Beach. We watched the fireworks displays in Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach and Oceano (yeah, there's a beach there, too).

Now it's eating leftover bbq, hanging out with family, and visiting with Daisy.
