Happy Fourth of July

It was not the most exciting 4th of July we've ever experienced, but the Hachie Gal is certainly enjoying her "independence" from work for the next 2 weeks. A day of putzing about in Chiswick with no timetable or schedule ...perfect.

On the other hand, the Budman had to put in a full day's work, although he did share a July 4th breakfast with a fellow Texan who we have had the pleasure of knowing/working with in the last 4 countries we have lived in. It is a small world indeed....

So, from us to you...coming to you live from the country where we declared our independence from to the one that we remember fondly on this day....

Happy 4th of July, America!
