Ellen, Hayley, and I relaxed after our first Independence Day activity by watching The Ewok Adventure (note:  it's been a long time since I've seen this 1984 TV special, which I found on VHS in the local library) followed by some powerful swimming performances at the Olympic trials by Michael Phelps and Dara Torres (41 and not too old for competitive athletics) to name only two of the most memorable.  There was a lot of cheering for two young swimmers:  one named Hayley and the other named Elizabeth.  Anyone happen to watch the game in which a ball rested on the home run wall before falling into play (Yankees vs. Red Sox)?

This morning Ellen and I enjoyed returning to the web to find out more about Besty Ross and tried our hand at 5 point stars. We did pretty well considering my lack of talent for such crafts ;-)

At present we're all hanging out before heading out for another picnic.  Gotta go, I'm in high demand by Eden who's enjoying her time on our recently enclosed deck. But before I forget, if you haven't already, check out some excellent NYC Indendence Day store windows.
