Tuesday and the Number 4

For the fourth. I slept till 11:30. We had paninis for lunch, made with the new panini press, and delicious brisket (a hunk of beef cured, smoked, cooked in a grill thingy, and made otherwise heavenly), potato salad, green salad, asparagus, and berry crumble for dessert. Everything was amazing. That evening we sat on the back porch and enjoyed the light sprinkling, lightning, and occasional firework. That night, a big storm came through with lightning and rolling thunder. It was a relaxing and delicious 4th.
