I am too old to miss a night’s sleep. I know that people my age are still having babies, but I cannot fathom how they survive the first year. The sleepless night in Amarillo has caused all kinds of upset this week. My body is demanding that I make up every missed minute - plus interest. That would explain how I slept until 9:20 today when THE PARADE STARTS AT 10:00.
Every 4th of July, our neighborhood has a parade complete with fire truck, decorated bikes and wagons and - usually - llamas. Our llama owning neighbors apparently do not understand or care about my need for continuity and tradition and did not bring the llamas this year. It was very disappointing. Because of that, and my late sleeping, there are no parade pictures.
Now I’m taking a break from party prep and trying very hard not to crawl off into a quiet corner for a nap. We are hosting the neighborhood potluck tonight. You wish that you were here. My neighbors can cook. There will be no deli-potato salad or canned beans here tonight. I was incapable of coming up with a recipe this week, so

sent me one for a Chopped Salad with Salsa Verde Dressing. I’m about half way through making it and so far it looks and smells very yummy. I’ll go ahead and trust that it’s delicious and post it

Tomorrow, Reagan has a horse show. We’re gearing up for County Fair the first week of August. Stay tuned for yet more pictures of Reagan on a horse. I can’t get enough of them - please pretend that you feel the same.
