Sunday afternoon, July 4th. We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening at Karole's cousin's house. It was still hot as hell, but the ceiling fan on the front porch kept us cool. The margaritas helped too. Other items on the menu: Grilled portabello mushrooms, Karole's famous potato salad, cole slaw, a table full of desserts. Oh, and some sort of meat too, I think. Luckily, our hosts were vegetarians.

Cousins Elizabeth and Paden celebrate the 4th.

Elvis is Everywhere
This is the bar in the house where we had our cookout. It is closely guarded by an Elvis head and a spark-spitting Nunzilla. |

Airplane rides
Karole gave out lots of airplane rides after my brief, but well-received juggling show. |
