Happy 4th of July to everyone !!!!

I got home yesterday afternoon after 22 days on the road - back and forth cross country to the Convention. Unloaded the car, except for the 15,000+ chips in my "Big" storage box - I will deal with them tomorrow.

I had a great time as usual and picked up a ton of chips on the way to, at the Convention and also on the way home. Also saw lots of friends along the way.

I have some crazy stories to tell - I will get to them ASAP. Also will post scans of chips and other things I picked up on the way (including some special stickers that my "Buddy" Alex C. likes).

We will be picking up the Grandkids who are coming to visit from the Netherlands on Tuesday in Philadelphia. They and my wife's daughter will be spending a month with us - should be lots of fun with the two boys age 6 and 4.

Enjoying the 4th with Nancy - I will be grilling up a steak and all the trimming later on for dinner and then we will sit in our front yard with some strawberry daiquiris and watch the local fireworks over the river. They put on a really nice display every year and only a couple of hundred yards from our yard. It's nice to have a "Front Row Seat" and don't even have to leave home !!!

We are surely blessed to live in such a Great Country and proud to be Americans !! God bless the USA !!!

Take care,
Jerry "Good to be Home" Birl
