Are Fourth of July plans going on as usual?

I mean this.
Barbecues, fireworks?
Grill Masters with black armbands?

Or just usual cheery gatherings with fireworks?

I’m not there, and don’t know how this holiday gets handled this year.

Because our former housemate would cover my admission. We have moved now, and I am no longer among the 'annointed'. Hubby works that day as well, so I will be sitting here with nothing to do, no one to do it with, and no way to afford to do anything anyway.

Weeeeeeee.....
