We spent the morning of July 4th playing with the dogs.
In the afternoon, our neighbors-on-the-flat held their annual July 4th parade, open to all kids with decorated wheels. Approximately one-bazillion children showed up.
These were my two favorites. I also liked the old guy dressed as Uncle Sam, riding a Harley. He sure was having fun! (Sadly, no photo...)
We spent the evening at the annual Turner BBQ. It was wonderful to visit with everyone.
Every year BT does a "Sparkler Dance," but due to the strict new anti-fireworks laws in Sonoma County, her dance has evolved into something else entirely. This year she acted out The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, complete with church tower, a boat on a river, a bridge, and (of course) a stick horse. It was brilliant. We all wished Sarah Palin could've seen it.
After the performance...flaming cherries jubilee. (Which were fireworks, of a sort!)
We made it home before dark, so the dogs and I could kick back in the bedroom with a good book. Keeper gets really nervous on July 4th. Riff stays relaxed....unless they launch a rocket to the moon. Some neighbors set up chairs in our driveway, and kept Jeff company. It's a terrific way to watch the fireworks at the fairgrounds.
BOOM!!!

Wow, brings back memories--my block used to have a 4th of july party and the kids (like me) decorated our bikes and did a parade. Thanks for that! And beautiful firework at the end. :-)
