On our way home from wedding #2 on Saturday, there were many people camped out all around town watching the fireworks.

The husband is the best cook in this house. When I cook, there's always a chance the firemen will be joining us for dinner, but he manages to whip up something delightful out of whatever we have in the fridge.
