Photo Sunday .....

Church this morning and then I will finish up the class stuff.  It's been slow going this month - having a hard time getting motivated.  Luckily I'm almost finished, just a couple of kits left to put together.  That's my main goal for the day :)

Off to the movie later this morning.  Excited to see 'Toy Story 5'!  Plans to go downtown this afternoon for some ice cream and who knows what else we'll find to do :)  Our normal July 3rd got changed - we usually would be going to the fireworks in Fruita tonight but every city around here has cancelled the fire works because of the fire situation.  (the smoke here in the valley has been really bad today!)   Totally understandable, yet still disappointing!  We'll still find a way to enjoy our holiday weekend together though.

Have a wonderful day!
