Fireworks and no work
I had a nice weekend and Fourth of July. On the Fourth, we went to a party hosted by a fellow in AA. It was a nice time with a lot of dogs milling around and people enjoying the view of the Intracostal waterway and the great food. After the party, we went down to the boat to watch the fireworks over the Harbor. It was a spectacular show.
The rest of the weekend was spent on the boat at my favorite anchorage. There were lots of people there partying and generally enjoying the beach. I found quite a few sharks teeth, some pottery shards, and beach glass. It was one of the most relaxing weekends that I've spent in a while. And the harmony between us was wonderfully happy--lots of laughs, lots of talking, lots of just enjoying each others company.
Tomorrow it will be back to work time. But for this evening, I've got some great memories of time spent totally in the moment, without a care in the world.

I spent the 4th in similar circumstances; at a party thrown by an Al-Anoner with AA people as well. We all attended an AA meeting right before the fireworks display. Glad to hear you had such a safe and enjoyable weekend. I'm lucky to be off this week. Grandpa and step Grandma are visiting the grandkids.
