Early in the weekend I was thinking of making a post on the fourth stating that Maggs, Macy, Georgia and I were the only ones in our immediate family that are still in Indiana to celebrate the holiday. Well....they didn't do much celebrating. Between the thundershowers and the fireworks they spent pretty much the whole weekend hovering around me.
Finally on Monday evening I put them all in their crates, hopped on my bike and went downtown to enjoy some of the celebration.
I started at D.T. Kirby's, what has become one of our favorite watering holes, for a 32 oz. Old Style and a sandwich that they call the Wedge. Hot turkey, ham, and roast beef with motzerella, grilled onions and green peppers on homemade bread. Yummy good.
Then a short walk down to Riehle Plaza to see the Lafayette Citizens Band and the Freedom Singers in a Stars & Stripes Celebration.
Which also included a performance by the Tippecanoe Fife & Drum Corps.
The whole time wishing that Nana would have laid out an outfit like this for me to wear so that I could have taken center stage dancing with this party-goer.
The dogs were fine in their crates with the stereo blasting so that they could not hear the fireworks and all in all it was a good weekend.
