Happy 4th of July

 Our 4th this year was quite different than normal years.  We had to push our trip to the cabin back a few days to accommodate all of the goings-on.

Nana K had been in the hospital for five days (June 27-July 1) and had to be released into a nursing home.  Over the weekend, I drove in daily so she could get some physical therapy she desperately needed in order to get out of the nursing facility and back into her apartment.  Long story.  Ugh.

And, Connor was scheduled to work (a very busy time at the lake where he was able to make a nice chunk in tips).

Early on the evening of July 3rd, a jet fly-by had been scheduled.  Apparently our area has the largest number of privately owned jets, so they made it a "thing" to fly over.   Many missed it, due to the clouds and where they flew over on the lake. 

At dark, the same evening, the lake association had planned to have the fireworks display on the point, near our house.  Due to unsatisfactory weather conditions (large storms rolling through with heavy rains and hail), the fireworks were postponed to another time (date yet TBD).  

Instead of watching fireworks, Eric, Ramsey, and I watched/listened to Sabaton videos on YouTube (Ramsey jammed out a LOT - gave himself a [not-so-] mild case of whiplash.

And, we put a puppy puzzle together while the thunder roared outside.

During the pouring rain, Eric had decided to go down to the lake to remove the panels from dock, knowing it would become submerged again.  And, he certainly didn't want to have to go diving for the panels later.   Prior to our departure to the cabin, he tired the pontoon to the lift on all four corners to ensure it wouldn't "go anywhere".   Ugh...
