the clouds parted & a great light was seen ...

the sunshine had some competition with the low clouds yesterday & we thought it might be another year of "listening" to the fireworks display. HOWEVER, shortly after sunset ... we could see all the way to the dunes. crystal clear!! So- with the balcony heater fired up & a couple of fuzzy blankets- we were in for a great show!

The gang gathered to grill up some dogs & burgers- along with potato salad, watermelon, deviled eggs, beans, jello & cherry pie. It was a feast fit for a holiday!

earlier in the day - the Captain took his turn helping out our community patrol program with crowd control. Over the July 4th weekend, our population probably quadruples!! Thanks Captain
