  • Remembering the 4th

    We had a great 4th of July.  My parents came up and friends came over.  We grilled hot dogs in the back yard.  It got up to 86 or so, but no one was complaining after 101+ last year.  About dusk we headed over to the Visitor's Center to watch fireworks being shot from the soldier's home.  I don't know if they had music at the Veteran's Home, but we didn't have official music from across the interstate.  Vicki put her i-phone Pandora to J. P. Seussa and we had our own music.  LOL The lights in our tree were so pretty that we are thinking about keeping them up for the rest of the summer.  After the fireworks and everyone had gone home, and most of the clean-up had been done, Dennis and I sat out at the picnic table under the lights and chatted for a while.  Fireworks were still going off all around us, so there was no point in trying to go to sleep until after midnight...when they once again became illegal to shoot inside St. James City limits.
