Well, I'm glad you didn't let your phone blues ruin your holiday. I'm not that big on the 4th , but we usually have people over for a few days. We're lucky in that we can see other town's fireworks without having to leave our own yard, so I enjoy them that way without having to seek them out and the crowds!

It sounds like your cafe hangout is amazing. Whenever I see @vermillionfox post about her time there, I'm envious. It seems a great hang out.

Congratulations on 5000! I love this platform and it's wonderful how much it is growing. Happy day and good luck with your phone.
