Great fourth of july here in Richmond.. It’s one of my favorite days of the year because I get to see so many folks in our small town come out and socialize. I really do love this place.

First thing on the agenda oday was the parade.. As always we gathered at the Bressors to watch the firetrucks, ponies skaters ,bands,  politicians and antique cars..

 

 

 

 

as always, our friend marshal was the last one in the parae.. dancing and limber on those stilts.. amazing.

 

then we headed over to volunteer green to eat french fries and check out the vendors, see friends and just hang out..

Then home for a day of hanging out with friends, family and food !

ellen with salad..

funky strawbery we found.. it looks like.. oh.. never mind..

three kinds of eggplant salad !

jim and his tattoos of his kids artwork .

here we are trying to stay warm.. it was in the low 60s.. maybe even the high 50’s//

gabe and raya looked like twins !

finally. fireworks in the park. We watched them from the bressors.. tit was great seeing the early ones against the not quite dark skies..

i love the spiders left in the air..!

and.. as always. I’ll leave on a negative..

hope you all had a good 4th as well. Go America !
