Yesterday was Independence Day but that isn’t the reasons I didn’t write you. I was lazy. That’s it just laziness.

Anyway we celebrated the fourth on the second. Jeff and I didn’t get to my uncle’s place about sixish because first it doesn’t get dark till about nine or nine thirty. Also we have dogs we can’t have them go for a long time without going potty. I was surprised how many people were there not many. It was Jeff and I, my parents, my cousin and her husband and two sets of uncles and aunts. Usually there are a lot more then that! I am happy about.

Jeff and I ate before we got there because every time we go there, there isn’t enough food. So when we got there was enough food. What?! Since I have been little there has never been enough food for everyone and this time there is? Strange. Oh well.

Every time we go to my Uncle Paul’s house there is always a poker game. I don’t always want to play but the alternative is playing dominoes which is okay. Why can’t we just hang out? So I played poker and so did Jeff. We don’t just play regular poker games we play Koehne games. Funny! They are made up and we have been playing for years! Anyway my cousin Jeff not my husband Jeff. He is such a show off. He plays real poker and he tells us this all the time. When it’s his turn he most of the time plays a game I never heard of which always has a ton of rules. Instead of asking a million times for the instructions I play for a little bit then fold. Why not just have fun Jeff? Also in his life he is a show off too. You know these people who put a ton of stuff on their FB page.

Later in the night Jared came. He is a cool cousin and the one to light off all the fireworks for us. It was good day.
