It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Americans, it's July 4th, Independence Day!

How are YOU celebrating the 4th?

Nashville has one of the biggest fireworks shows in the nation, as well as a free Wynona Judd concert beforehand.

Festivities kick off around 3pm, but according to the news, there were already people camped out on the lawn at Riverfront park at 4:30am this morning.

Charlie and I had a perfect day yesterday. We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast (scrumptious!), then back home for awhile.

In the afternoon we took a drive out to our favorite winery, Keg Springs, and bought a bottle of wine, sat out on their porch and ate the food we brought with us.

I was worried it would be crowded, and it was exactly the opposite. For most of the time we were there, we had the place to ourselves! Some nice bluesy/jazzy music played softly in the background. The porch was shady with overhead fans and grape vines growing along every railing. White lights were wrapped around poles. The birds chirped, and the tranquility was spectacular.

Another couple arrived with some munchies and a deck of cards. They sat out on the deck and played cards. I noticed they bought the same wine we did - Crusade. Thanks to TY and SY for turning us on to the place!

Today we're going to just run errands until the afternoon. We'll grill out later, but I need to hit the health club, the grocery store, make potato salad, etc.

TTFN and have a Happy 4th of July!
