A Good Day

What a great 4th I had yesterday, with parades and then a great picnic afterwards. The parade was held in Thomaston Maine and it was a good one as usual. With lots of area fire equipment and lots of local organization taking part. Missing from this year from the parade this year was the ever scary local militia and the crucified guy draped in the bloody cloth float that is always a big hit.



There was one glitch this year with the parade and it was a complaint I had the last time we had gone to the parade in Thomaston, and it is the spacing of the parade participants. But this year it was really apparent as there was such a long space between the Lincolnville Band and the evil Republicans that half of the people at the parade went home thinking that the parade was over. I'm going to have to talk to someone about the problem before next year.




And I want to give a big shout out to my bud Josh ,who was with his politician father in the parade, ignored my frantic waving and whistling to get his attention. Oh well, I'll have to talk to the boy and straighten this out.



After the parade we all headed out to my friends home in Spruce Head Maine for a picnic. My friends son and his wife are up from New Jersey so that made it a little more special. Everything was great the weather was just perfect good conversation, lots of laughs and good food. A couple of small problem like no hamburgers just hot dogs and no onions for crap sake. Well I don't want to get started on that. I'll just say that it was truly a great day spent with people that I really care about.
