The Aftermath


Lots of Fun Had By All

The 4th was HOT, HUMID and FUN.  We had a few less people this year, and that was a.ok.  As usual, there was lots of talking, laughing.....pooltime, and oh yes...........lobster and clams off the bake!!!!


Good times with good friends on the 4th.



A more complete review will happen, but for now I've got a couple of days off with Gar for clean up and recovery. Though things weren't looking too bad this year the day after. We did a good job of picking up on the 4th.

Though it looked pretty quiet and empty yesterday compared to the 4th.  Yesterday was about cleaning things a bit and relaxing.  I think we could open our own Beergarten over on the East side of the yard.


Nothing on the fire today.


So neighborhoodlum Tom moved the 800 pound plate off the pit.


We enjoyed a couple of beers from the keg and really took it pretty easy, just like Lucan.


He lifted his head every once in a while just to make sure that everyone was, in fact, chilling as instructed.


More chilling today. It's another hot one. Great summertime vacation day. I will be pool bound at some point.

Hope you're enjoyed your holiday this week if you're in the States (or Canada ).  We have no plans for the weekend. We're going to wing it. A lot of lazing about is the only thing on the to do list.  What are you up to in your corner of the world?

Freeform Friday

Sousa by the Boston Pops on the Esplanade. Doesn't get anymore 4th of July than that. Happy Birthday America!  If you're reading by email, click here.

Enjoy.






Have a great Friday,

  1. It looks like so much fun and those lobsters look amazing. Nothing beats a good New England lobster. Relax and take it easy for a few days. Looks like Lucan and Casey are working on the same routine during these hot days. :)

    1. small fireworks are good. too bad i didn't remember to pull the sparklers out! we did get fun garden lights from neighbor gerry though and they light up red white and blue and changes colors. like our own little light show at night.

  3. Fun! We hit the mountains for the 4th. No fireworks though:( Our whole state is on fire so we weren't allowed. Oh well, there's always next year.

    1. it was perfectly wonderful, other than the fact that it was humid as hades and i had to keep wiping my face with a towel and even that didn't help. would have jumped in the pool but the thought trying to get my suit on when i was that hot and sticky was too much to consider. if i got it on, i probably wouldn't have gotten it off.

      lucan is ALL about taking it easy! currently napping behind me on futon.
