On July 2nd, at the Lime Rock Racetrack, which is about 8 miles from us, they had scheduled a fireworks display sponsored by the local Rotary Club. We had talked about going, but when the day came, I had just driven home in heavy holiday traffic from visiting Casey, Dave and Elliott, so it seemed like the easiest thing to just forget it. We got cleaned up to go out to eat, and then decided we would go see the fireworks after all. So we packed up our cooler: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, watermelon, grapes, yoghurt, diet cokes and some red wine and headed out to the race track about 7 PM. It was a beautiful evening - cool but not too cool - and clear. We spread my yoga mat (forgot to bring a blanket to sit on) and sat on it and munched on our picnic and enjoyed watching the people around us. Fireworks started about 9:15 and were worth the wait. A glorious display we ooh'ed and ahh'ed over like the rest of the spectators, then back home to Great Elm.
Next year, all we need are Emmett and Elliott along with us!
