4th of July
We have three families with young kids living on our street surrounded by a number of retirees. It is great to see the young kids all the time. For the 4th they all decorated their bikes and then put on quite a show. Jacky sang the Star Spangled Banner which was outstanding! Then the parade began complete with a rocket ship float with 3 yr old Madeline waving hello to everyone. Then we had cake and ice cream followed by the fireworks.
Us old folks told stories of what the fireworks were like years ago on the block. How Brad lit one firecracker that burned a young girl's arm (she still has the scar altho I don't remember the incident but her mother does). How they would land on our shake roofs and it always seemed that there was wind. I have to admit it is nice not to have to worry about those things any more.
