We're sitting at the park waiting for fireworks to start. We came pretty
early to get a close enough parking spot, a good place to sit, and
listen to some live music. The girls are in their jammies for minimal
fuss when we get home, and we brought a bunch of books and a couple
flashlights to help keep them busy.
There is a lady knitting just down the hill from us, and I am sorely
tempted to go ask her what she's making. I think this is my first
attempt at kinnearing.
The parade this morning was fun, despite the drizzle at first. I think
there were fewer entries this year, maybe because of the struggling
economy? There were lots of war veterans walking and riding in the
parade, and despite my strong feelings of pacifism, I always enjoy
standing there clapping my hands sore for them.
I hope you had a great day today, whether it is a holiday for you or
not.
I agree. I'm a strong pacifist, yet I always get teary-eyed when the vets pass by and clap like crazy. I can't even imagine what their experiences have been like.
