After the Fourth

It is always fun to have family and friends around to celebrate the holidays. Working up to the event is fun, as well. We ran in the fields with the alpacas, a new experience for our friends. Our friends and some family ate and shot off fireworks together. The teens and elders were all the same age for those few hours as they duc taped the plastic army men to the bottle rockets. They loved the danger of it all. We spectators were on a"high" from our friends as we sang patriotic songs and danced with sparklers to the sound of the the recorder played so well that one would have thought it was James Galway in our mists. We laughed, reminisced and entertained each other under the bounty of moonlight that filled the pastures. What fun...What a memory we created to be recovered on another Fourth of July!
