We began the day watching the parade in the front yard of the business our neighbor owns. He had invited the whole neighborhood to come and we had a BBQ afterward. Later that day, another neighbor had opened her pool to the neighbors for another grill. And, of course, we took advantage!
Later that night, we attended the Cul de Sac of fire which was slightly dampened by a brief, but intent, rainstorm. It was a great night of fireworks and treats and lots of good neighbors. We miss them dearly!
