yoga, fireworks, and...

 Hi G-Fans!

Well, we survived, with distress, another Fourth of July event.

Usually the third is worse on our street than the fourth.

Not so this year.

We were bombarded with fireworks from every direction.

Despite close windows, doors and distracting inside sounds, Tessa was shivering like she was left outside for 24 hours in February.   Bertie and Raphael did their best to hide and pretend they didn't hear anything and I did likewise.

But heard we did!

Sophie was none too thrilled either.

The concierge was pretty nonchalant about the whole ordeal.

Annoying!

Other annoying things that happened today would include:

We started the day with a LATE breakfast (although, I was slipped a half cookie at 6:00 a.m. so my tummy wouldn't be so empty to feel nauseous.... that happens a lot lately.....)

Then after breakfast we were locked out of the yoga.

The concierge had some lame excuse about sloping backyards and dirt and ants in Harry's backyard....

I am not buying that load of hooey!

So, we were left inside while the concierges tried to be inconspicuous in the front yard with their polka dots and stripes ad nauseam.  Ridiculous!

I am sure one of the neighbors recorded it for later use....

I bet they looked pretty silly!

Especially doing the downward dog.

That is just too ridiculous to consider!

We did a walk that we haven't done recently.

The walk itself was peaceful and uneventful.

Getting there was a whole other matter.

  We drove through the gauntlet of dogs, cars, trucks, suvs, people and boats....

I think the concierge is now deaf.

I said. "I think the concierge is now deaf!"

We were vociferous barkers in the small enclosed space of the car!

Much enthusiasm and volume was the order of the afternoon.

Oh, a very annoying thing that I thought we were getting by on...  There was cleaning today.

Towels were changed, blankets were washed, floors were vacuumed and mopped.... couches were cleaned.... She did a lot in less than two hours.

I have seen bigger cleaning jobs, but it was enough to set us back a week or two at any rate.

So, all in all an eventful day.

We are all going to be tired tomorrow!

So, may you find ways to cope with the bombs of life without allowing shrapnel to do any harm....

TTFN!

zzzzzzz

This what we wished we could do during the fireworks last night and tonight....

Yup, hiding would have been nice...

Except if it made the sounds louder and more unexpected.... that would have been bad.....

Tessa exhausted from all the scary fireworks...
