happy independence day!

So I'm stealing a photo from my friend Eryn. It was just so gorgeous I couldn't help posting.

I ran the Freedom 5K in the morning and finished in #333 place in about 31:44--just under a minute slower than last year, but this year I ran without stopping--whoot whoot!

We spent the early afternoon watching the floatilla on Wood Lake and then we drove home to pick raspberries and hear the firecrackers in town.

Happy birthday to my beautiful and independent friend Kari Frances Cassidy!
