Tonight we had a great picnic/cookout at the Stratman's house, and then a few people came to our place and walked over to the fireworks. Chuck hates fireworks and was content to stay home and browse on the computer, remote in hand. I have learned not to be upset by this and was happy to be with friends.
The Fireworks are shot off about 4 blocks from the house, so parking is easy. When we got there, we found our neighbors right away:
These are our across the street neighbors Matt and Marie with Marie's mom. The guy with the Puma shirt and the very pregnant gal are Jaimie and Aaron Taylor, new neighbors within the past 4 weeks. Jaimie went to the hospital to have her baby on Sunday morning, so the walk did her good!!!
Rich and Robin, my next door neighbors with Chad and Gavin Sheets, two houses down, sitting behind them.
Quinna Sheets, munching on chips and being her silly self. Notice the glow band on her arm!!! She was so proud of that....
Melody, Celia's daughter and her best friend Kat are home for about a week. Had such a blast with them today!!
They had sparklers and got busted by 3 cops who said they couldn't have them. Three???? That was slightly over the top.....
Celia and Ken with his parents sitting behind them. I was reminded that our fireworks aren't nearly as grand as Mundelein's.....Oh well.....Maybe next year, we'll do Mundelein's and compare!!!
Celia's latest quilt...a patriotic one perfect for this time....Mine is still in a plastic bag needing piecing. Maybe I'll have it done for this time next year!!!
I hope your day was as great as ours was.....be thankful for this great country of ours!!!
