Independence day is certainly different this year. Actually, it is different in many ways. It is cold and rainy. The temperature is the exact same as Christmas was (60 degrees). COVID restrictions have mostly been retracted. Folks have two years of 4th spirit to let loose.
Here, at the beach house, we are not complete. Caz is in Auburn. It is for a good reason. He is finishing his senior project, so he can graduate in August. It is not the same without having the five of us (the boys always get excited if Gizmo is excluded from the total family headcount) together. Coco got to spend some quality time with his high school friends. They hadn't been together in a while. I am glad they got a chance to see each other. They are a great bunch of people.
The tide was high again. The private fireworks displays all had to launch from behind the beach wall. It was fun to watch though. Gizmo is a great dog. She is not bothered by loud noises at all. She walked with us, under the cover of night, to the beach wall. She hung out on the beach wall, while we watched the shows. No bonfires though. The ocean would have washed them away before they could have been lit. Maybe next year.
