Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 186 - Happy 4th July!

... and Happy Birthday Danielle!

Her birthday was actually on Canada Day, 1st July, but we couldn't celebrate since (a) it was a Sunday and we weren't at work and (b) she was in Hobart and far away anyway so today we decide to celebrate July 4 AND celebrate her birthday!

Such fun!

I made a pecan pie for the first time the night before at 9.30 after getting in from dinner with Jason L. It didn't finish cooking till 11pm so my housemate Aidan and I watched the 4th episode of "Falling Skies".

A selection of caloric richness!

The moose (Canada) and Smurf Pilgrim (USA) atop a tower of Reeses mini- Peanut Butter Cups.

The requisite red, white and blue streamers brought in my boss Valerie (in picture)

Valerie's cute as cute dog Rambo surveys all the food and champers he can't drink

Then another rainbow this one tucked behind the Bridge

A gorgeous orange glow in the sky

Lovely the colours that suffuse the skies where I work.
