July 4th Plans

We Wilsons are going to my parents’ house in F.O. tomorrow to swim and BBQ, probably starting around 1 pm. Friends are welcome to join us there. (I even have parental permission!) Think low-key, low org, and potluck food. We are broke, so we will not really be able to provide refreshments beyond some chips and salsa. Bring a suit if you want, and a towell, and food and beverages. Bring pool toys.

The only thing is, I don’t want to do fireworks there (open, dry field near my parents’ house), so if fireworks (or booming noises) on the 4th are your passion, you might prefer to do something else with our blessing.

When it’s dark, we will probably return to our neighborhood to sit in folding chairs in the school field at the end of our street. We’ll take our light toys and watch the sky fireworks they’ll be shooting from Del Campo High a few neighborhoods over to the west. Again, low-key, low org.

If you’d like more information or directions, please call. Everyone reading this has my phone number.

    Brilliant! I don’t know about the swimming portion of the program, but I will definitely see you back at the Rancho for fireworks, that sounds like the perfect speed for me.

    Excellent. I’ll have to check my very busy and important social calendar, but I think I can make it(Says the girl who was just whining about not having any plans….) 🙂
    I’ll call you for directions and try to get Steve to come.

    Great. Spread the word. I’m probably not gonna make a ton of phone calls because I’m lazy. So if you (all y’all) talk to folks, mention that this gathering is happening, please.

    I hope we can make it. We’ll be visiting Justin’s family in Sacramento, so maybe we can do both.
