July 4th 1776, democracy was thrown into the birth canal of our independence. Come one, come all immigrants and live the american dream. The 4th of July softball game and barbecue started without me. As normal, it was a huge event of six teams competing for the title of 2006 best. My highlights are minimum, as I sat in the bar waiting for Italy or Germany to make a flippin' move for two hours. Sadly, I missed Shane's phenomenal hit and accidental slip into third base. Hands down MVP, the talented and dedicated Hope. Last year, she injured her knee from a super power slide and boasted crutches at my bachelorette party in Vegas. This year, she continued to stupefy her competitors. Playing the part of a fair umpire, the one and only Tim! Stylishly sporting a white sport coat, plaid pants, blue sneakers complimenting his blue button down cowboy shirt. As dogs and a good hundred people sat in the cool shade, the teams kicked up dust and played a great game!
Besides stuffing my face with Angela's yummy turkey burgers and chicken satay, it was delightful to see faces I haven't seen in years especially from Fasties cronies! Plus, everyone's kids are sprouting like weeds. Randy, of Toni and Randy, is pregnant so it was a real treat to get her insight to the world of preggers! I enjoyed catching up with everyone. Although the absence of close friends were sorely missed, it's still a great 4th.
Lesson: An independent Grasshopper must learn to live insecticide free.
