Parade
Not too much has gone on this week. At least not much to write about. My son was getting used to Marching band and I think he is enjoying it. He says not, but it seems different. At some point he may question if it was worth it to give up piano lessons for this, but for now he is moving forward. It should also be good for him to have something like this under his belt.
This morning, we got our son over to the Equestrian Park so he was ready for the parade. We were a little bit early, so we went to McDonalds to have a little bit of breakfast first. After dropping him off we went to the end of the parade route so we could sit and watch for him. Thank goodness there was a breeze. It helped out with the heat. The parade was enjoyable, and I thought the band did a good job. We picked up our son and watched the rest of the parade. We finally headed home.
When we got home we noticed a smell of smoke. We kind of looked around and didn't see anything that looked wrong. We kind of left it at that. We did call out to Pam and Annes house and then, in the long run went out to their house to visit with them. The kids had taken their clothes because they are asked to stay quite a bit of the time and today was no different.
Before we left home, we noticed that smoke smell again. It seemed stronger, but this time we saw smoke coming from our neighbors yard. Looking over the fence, we could see some dry grass (cut) that was at least smoking. I went and knocked on his door and told him about the fire. He went out to put it out. It had blackened a part of his vinyl fence, but no real damage had taken place. I guess he poured some coals from his barbecue from the previous night today there. We were just glad that we had seen it.
We went to see one of Annes sisters home that they are redoing. They bought a house out of foreclosure and have spent a year fixing it all up. When they finish it looks like it will be nice. We then went to dinner and then sat for a good portion of the evening at Pams house just visiting. It was a nice day.
