The view from my deck this morning

It’s quiet around my place as my neighborhood recovers for a hangover called celebrating the 4th of July.  The gummys are downstairs dead to the world.  It was a long night of  watching fireworks and then doing some sparklers afterwards.  It makes for a real long day when you’re 6 years old.  My neighborhood?  It looks like the day after the Chinese New Year celebration with spent fireworks everywhere.  Someone made a boatload of money selling that stuff to them.  The economy must be doing pretty good.

  1. Jim, you have a gorgeous place! How wonderful – 4th of July must have been fantastic. I feel like I have a “hang over” from the events, as well. I told my 11 and 13 year old, that I’m pretty much done coordinating pool parties, and BBQ, and figuring out little party snapper/popper/silly string favors and trying to locate a spot to see fireworks. It’s too much effort and I’m exhausted now. Because unlike others, I had everyone clean up their waste from all the poppers, conffetti and silly string.

      1. seriously – all the years of holiday, summer break activities, coordinating outings here and there for friends and sports teams. My son is 13 and bored today. Can you arrange for a group of friends to come over? NO. I just hosted another family yesterday – that was a lot of work, and expense. When we have friends over, we have to have food and drink and it’s more work for me. NO.

  4. We have had heavy Fire Works since mid-May.The smoke and smell of sulfur hangs in the air. If last year is any indication this will continue until “back-to-school” kills the party mood in mid August. This is “Trump Country” so I’m just glad they aren’t goose-stepping with nuclear missiles up and down the street…. yikes
