Are the parties all over yet?

Last night we had one party that thought they should let off their fireworks into the wee hours. Since I go out with the dog frequently during night I was privy to a neighbour on the next street lighting up noisy fireworks about every 15 minutes from 11:30 pm until about 1:30 in the morning. I guess he had exhausted his supply, or someone else put an end to it? haha Another let off a show of fireworks at 10 pm in the street just down from us - this was OK because it did not last long and wasn't all that late. I could only see a few bright lights in the sky but the noise was deafening.
On Saturday I walked down to the Main Street to witness the Sundridge Parade - in fact it was the best local parade I've seen yet here in town. The skies cleared and the sun came out just before 4 pm so the timing was perfect. Lots of red and white, and the local car dealership was throwing out teeshirts of which I obtained one. Beats the caramels and suckers others were offering.
More rain yesterday including thunderstorms and torrential downpour but the rest of this week looks promising.  The next door neighbours from Holland arrive late on Thursday for their annual visit, so we plan to buy some of those helium balloons at the DollarTree on Tuesday and decorate their house up a bit (as we have done others years) So there will be no real privacy for us on that side of the house for about six weeks.
It's time to get my coffee and see about what the day will bring forth.  Thinking about you folks - have a great week. And Cathy, tell us what you have planned to fill your leisure time haha!   Take care
