I too wish everyone a HAPPY 4th of JULY[/size]  Quiet morning - just finished exercising on our new Elliptical --- not as near death as when I began using it last week.  In a few minutes I will start preparing the &quot;extras&quot; for our spontaneously put together last minute barbeque.  Before I knew it we have a houseful of friends coming to celebrate our country&#39;s independence with us.  Think I will make a potato and grilled asparagus salad and corn on the cob to go with the other stuff people will be bringing -- we have frozen away lots of steakburgers and chicken breasts left over from DD&#39;s graduation party last month.  It&#39;s always good to party with friends.  Sounds like many of you also have exciting or at least fun days of celebrattion  to look forward to today.  I wish you all a happy day and for those of you who need a bit more TLC I wish you the healing that you need.
