Good morning from sunny Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. Happy Fourth of July to everyone celebrating today. The current temperature is 73 F. It's going to be a warm one today with a high reaching 84 F. Today is a holiday, in case you haven't figured that out. So, I'm going to do what people do on holidays. Eat. Enjoy the day. Watch Yankee Doodle Dandy. And generally relax. I will also prepare the food I plan to eat today. I bought a pound of hamburger yesterday so I'm making that Cheeseburger Salad, @snowy mentioned not too long ago. I'm also making a red, white, and blue salad with strawberries, blueberries, and apples. I already had my banana for breakfast. Of course, I will also play my game and work on a book. I also plan to get a walk in this morning before it gets much hotter out there. I'm listening to patriotic music on Alexa. If you have Alexa, ask her to play America the Beautiful. It's worth it. Okay, that's the plan for today. How's your day going? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

@kobesbuddy I don't know. Remember, Israel is God's chosen people, and they are truly blessed.

I was supposed to see my husband yesterday; but I think I still have my UTI because I was very uncomfortable. Have a good day and weekend.

We just had dinner. I will have some ice cream in a while. I don't have Alexa. I am an Android and Microsoft type of gal. Enjoy your evening.

84 F sounds quite high. I hope that it is not very humid. Greetings on the American Independence Day. I hope that US gets back on track to fulfill the ideals of Thomas Jefferson and others. Many American values of Freedom and Democracy have inspired people elsewhere.. Yet things are so different now. Still an Independence day means so much. I hope you enjoyed the food fare. We have had client visitors from Denmark. The interesting part is that the face of the lady somehow reminded me of you !! I cannot share her picture here due to official reasons but the resemblance is striking!

@just4him Good to know about the food. While it is not ethical for me to comment on her looks, she is close to 60 and very fit and articulate, with some humor thrown in at times! I have learnt that Danish people remain healthy and fit physically even at 60 plus age. However, they seem to be affected more by Mental health issues. May be due to a lack of sunlight and lesser sunlight hours during the winters.

Yes, it would be great if we could get back to the ideals that inspired Thomas Jefferson and the others to strike out for Independence 200+ years ago. She sounds like a beautiful woman. The food turned out perfect.

What a great suggestion on the music! I just went to YouTube and searched for patriotic 4th of July music, and now it's playing in the background on my computer while I myLot.

I'm glad you got some rain. It's starting here. It was sprinkling when I went out for my last walk.
