This is the baby bird that was hanging out in the basket of flowers hanging from my lamp post. It’s mama kept flying back to feed it, but of course, as soon as I got the camera out, the mama stayed away.
ooOOhhh...
I love fireworks.
We went to the Coast Guard again this year. Man, I love that place. It’s like front row seats to watch the fireworks. We’re so close that you can feel the heat from some of the bigger ones, and anything on the ground is going to move because the ground shakes from the explosions.
So, we’re all waiting around for the fireworks to start, and Troy, a guy who used to work with my sister in the recruiting office, comes over. He was sent to a base in TX a couple years ago, but his wife is a local so they usually come back for the 4th. Anyway…he started telling us a story about his next door neighbor, “The little boy that lives next door to us is autistic…” This is where Ethan, who was lounging in a chair, in Ethan’s World, not paying any attention to us (so we thought), raised his hand in the air and gave a shout-out to all the autistic kids in the world by saying, “Hey…I’m autistic…woo woo!” After giving his little shout-out, he went back to Ethan’s World. Yes, son, yes you are. That boy cracks me the hell up.
