As the holidays come and go I sometimes imagine conversations Thad might have in heaven--'Morning Thad, Happy 4th of July!''Wasn't this your favorite earthly holiday?' 'Seems you've talked often about all the fun celebrations you had as a kid and later with your wife's family. It's a wonder no one was ever blown up!' 'Soooo how did they decorate your grave THIS year, flags, fireworks, PEPSI??' [Thad] 'nothing this year, guess they were busy.' [angel] 'NOTHING, again!' Bless Bridget, if it weren't for her, we'd miss most years. She took care of it this year, AGAIN. I'm going to put some red, white, and blue ballons on it on my way to work. iT'S hard to have a 4th of July without thinking of Thad, he enjoyed it so much. It's fun to see the kids seem to really like this holiday as well. Breezy and I are doing chicken tonight but then Bridget, the Bradster and family are going to join us for a few LEGAL fireworks. It should be a pleasant evening. I hope all of you have a wonderful Holiday. [no I'm NOT a day early, in Utah they don't celebrate if a holiday falls on a Sunday.] So today we celebrate. Hugs

Aunt Wendy I too think of uncle thad on the 4th I always remember him sitting there laughing when something was going wrong with one of brandons illegal fireworks and you always yelling that you were not going to attend next year if things didn't settle down. I always looked forward to the 4th back then when everyone was friends with much less drama.
ditto!!!! I MISS YOU DEAR, I HOPE ALL IS WELL.

Holy comment of the year Batman!
Yes, Shellie is spot on.
I repeated to Rachel MANY times that I was "taking the weekend off" then it hit me like a piece of firecracker shrapnel to the face... it's only Rachel and I to carry on the Doyle tradition with the new generation. After that, I started to get a better attitude and get ready for the party.
Sorry we couldn't be in St. George. I will need to better plan future 4th of July's so we can all be together.
And tell Bridget thank you. That means a lot to me.
Happy Fourth of July.
Love you.
