OMG.. we learned earlier tonight that our towns forth of july parade, festival and fireworks have been canceled for tomorrow.. ok.. not canceled, but delayed to an as yet unspecified later date..
ts as if they decided to call of Christmas … the whole town comes out for this event.. it’s unthinkable not to have it tomorrow..
that said, I understand what a hard decision that must have been to make.. we’ve had really horrendous weather.. and it probably would not have been comfortable.. or even safe.. to try and hold the event tomorrow. Today’s rains actually took out big parts of wes white hill, Sherman hollow and happy hollow roads.. who knows what the town fields look like.. Also the emergency vehicles that usually make up the parade are probably out saving folks homes now..
We’ll find some way to celebrate tomorrow even if the town can’t .. we’ll be here tomorrow after 2.. drop by and bring that potato salad you’d made for the picnic.. we’ll find some way to have fun !
Enough about tomorrow… today was great.. slow and unhurried.. it all stated with a beautiful luna moth on the back door screen.
what a great face.. if that’s his face.. ?
Mid day I went up to Saint Albans to meet ben and co to pln round 3 on the stampmobile.. then came back, and took a nap.. doesn’t get much better than that !. ( i did manage to sneak in 2 work meetings and a bunch of work calls.. but we spent much of the time talking about our vacations.. is that good or bad >
Around 7 we headed to burlington to see the fireworks at Eho.. We ran into lots of freinds down at the water front.. Colin was there with his sound activiated version of our headbands..
We saw our friends Jim and Sue.. and they had Jim’s friend Michael and my long time FB friend Heidi in tow from San Diego.. It was so nice meeting them !
before the fireworks there was a great display of aerial acrobatics in a stuntplane.. absolutely amazing !
the fireworks were spectacular.. .. they were completely symmetric this year which was a fun and odd twist..
Watching the fireworks at echo was great.. even better was the fast escape we made to our car down on pine street.. We were int he car and driving withing 15 minutes of the last boom.. We stopped at the store on the way home and ran into my old freind Joyce from Worcester.. she was my office mate back in 1981.. ..wow.. we’ve known each other for 32 years !!!! It was great catching up
ok.. time for bed. I know that because I just feell asleep and woke up to the sound of my own snoring..
more on the forth.. .. Like aI said. we’re goign to make it fun no matter what the weather does !
nite all, nite sam
