patriotism, summer learning, and birds

What a day! We were happy to attend a reading of the Declaration of Independence this morning outside the courthouse. And Gran and I took Dennis to the summer camp workshops at Bass Pro Shop this afternoon where he was delighted to earn 5 pins and practice archery and casting. Then he went to a birthday party with his daddy while Gran & I went to pick up our new roommates. There are 8 baby guineas in a crate in our garage. Apparently they are going to rid us of ticks and bugs and provide occasional eggs without a lot of hard work. Dennis has already named one Zippy and plans to name the rest tomorrow. I wonder how our free range guineas will like the neighbor chickens!
