We all get together and picnic at the beach in the late afternoon and stay until the fireworks are set off that evening. Not only do we get the best seats early, we bond and reflect on everything we are grateful for in this country that we tend to take for granted.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jandils.com/" rel="nofollow">Brad Post @ Jan Dils</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739843183701801329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238455262711858186.post-70476556871112654712015-07-05T19:34:43.853-05:002015-07-05T19:34:43.853-05:00I grabbed my decorations at the last minute, too! ...I grabbed my decorations at the last minute, too! Now I am planning to leave them up for the month since I was so late in bringing them out. They were lurking in a newly organized closet with (what else) boxes piled in front of it. <br /><br />I hope you enjoyed the fireworks at the lake! We went to a parade and a picnic and could have lingered since you can see the fairgrounds fireworks from my middle son's front yard or the raceway fireworks from his backyard. But we were partied out and went home to bed.
