The Fourth of July

We had the usual Fourth of July itinerary.  First we drove to Connecticut to have a picnic with my three sisters, and Jon and Lauren and their 4 year old twins, all of which was wonderful, except for getting stuck in traffic.  Then we drove back home, and got some of Kathy's desserts out of the fridge and headed over to the yearly gathering at our friends the Gordon's.  It is always such a nice group and gentle conversations, and then wonderful food and deserts.  And then the fireworks, as seen from their back deck, looking down on the harbor.  This year the sky was lighter when the show began, and so it is a more interesting photograph because of all the detail we can see with the light still in the sky.  All in all, a wonderful holiday!
