Thankfully it seemed a bit quieter than past years. This is a good thing, especially for
Buster. He was much less stressed than
last year. I know the next door
neighbors had less fireworks than last year.
I don’t think they had their party as usual. There are some really big and loud fireworks
that go off around here. There are some
that sound like the 6 lb. Mountain Howitzer my friend used at some of our
living history events. I have no idea
what those things are. They don’t have
just one, there are dozens. They must
have cost quite a lot. I’ll avoid the
pun about ‘up in smoke.’ I guess I didn’t
after all.
I even slept better last night. I guess I took enough chemicals and was tired
enough to sleep through any really late fireworks. No, just Motrin. It knocks the edge off the aches and pains enough
to sleep better. Last year they didn’t
stop until 4 AM. It was chilly last
night and somewhat humid along with a good breeze. That may have been what put a damper on the
celebrations. I will hope it happens
next year too. Yeah, curmudgeon is
right.
I did wake up early and Kim did also. Not unusual, except maybe for Kim. However, the Grandkids being here causes her
to get up anyway regardless how tired she may be. She spoils them and spends almost every
waking moment with them, playing or entertaining them in some way. Every kid should have a Grandmother like her. Fortunately I did.
No, no long list of resolutions, not that kind of guy. Not even a wish list for things for the
coming year. It’s really just another
day to me. I don’t get all philosophical
and say a bunch of junk about mankind and the things I hope will happen for a
better year. This day won’t make a
difference at all. I pray about those things
EVERY DAY. Taking stock is not my
style. I make my own adjustments
privately when I see something that needs a change. Keeping it to myself prevents others from
throwing it in my face, if I don’t measure up in their eyes.
This has gone on farther than I intended. I’ll stop now.
Happy Trails.
