4th of July Weekend

I have worked all this weekend, but we did manage to go watch fireworks on the 4th. It was really nice. Dickey Stephens Park opened the stands for free for folks to come watch the downtown display. I really never thought about it, but that's a pretty good place to watch the fireworks. The weather could not have been better. There was a nice breeze blowing and it had rained earlier in the day so the rain cooled things off a bit. The concession stands were open and they had the community band playing patriotic music down on the field. It was really a nice night. I loved being there with Elijah and Britt. I just wish I hadn't been so sleepy and ready to get in the bed! I have been in a bit of a funk lately, as I am prone to at times so the evening out with my two favorite guys was really good for me. I need more times like that!

Hi Dawn!

Just so you know, I sent a $5 donation for the lemonade stand!

I went to the mountains above Denver and watched fireworks from the mountain casino towns of Blackhawk and Central City. Then tried to use the telescopes to observe the night sky, but the explosive smoke was very light grabbing. So, no viewing Friday night. Saturday night, it rained.

Oh well...
