Happy 4th, Cathie!!! Love the big splashy picture. That might be as close as I get to fireworks this year since we’ve got temps at 103 degrees! I think that might be a record for Chicago?

  Oh man!!! I feel for you because I’m right there with you! It’s in the 90s here in MN and I’m literally DYING! It’s HOT! And I’m originally from Oklahoma! I asked Troy if he wanted to go to Fleet Farm today and he said, “Out in that heat????” LOL!
