We went to the post office just to have something to do. We also went over to Home Depot so I could get a silver toilet handle. That way it matches the new toilet seat. Unlike the seat, the handle bolt was really corroded. I got it off OK though.
The weather was good, so we decided to run the dog. But first we went to the Italian restaurant by Tomlinson's. There lunch special is a really good deal, and really good food. The waiter we had knew what he was doing, unlike the one we had last time.
After lunch of course we had to stop at Tomlinson's so Lucy could get a treat. She didn't get to eat it right away because we went over to Circle C. We walked around to the creek so she could swim. Of course she did retrieves all the way.
After we got to the creek several other dogs showed up. One family had a lab on a check cord. The lab retrieved sticks while Lucy did her bumper. I wasn't paying attention and hooked the bumper in a tree. Lucy almost went crazy watching the lab retrieve while I collected rocks so I could knock the bumper down.
After the sun went down the fireworks came out. It has sounded like the fourth of July for hours. We went out and shot off the stuff I bought the other day. We did it at 9. It was getting cold and we didn't feel like going out at midnight. I had bought some 4 inch rockets that turned out to be really nice. They went a long way into the air and then exploded in sparks with a really loud report. W also had a couple of nice fountains. It wasn't much, but it was just about right for our little celebration.
We normally stay up past midnight anyway (we live on Pacific time). So ringing in the new year won't be hard, providing we pay attention to it at all. It's going to be 2014. I feel old.
