A Quiet Holiday

Cookout with firepit and charcoal grill
Independence Day was low key this year. Lisa was on the road. We lost Roseanna this spring to a heart attack. July 4th was her birthday and she liked to have a good celebration. Then there was Covid-19.We have been told to wear masks; to social distance and to keep groups to 10 or less.  

Social distancing, Evans style
Should we even have a picnic?  We decided to do it, but to only include the family and friends that we have been socializing with regularly. No extra visitors for a special event.  That meant the picnic would be the people who live in my house (Reyes, Merisa and I) and Joe and Leon as well as Gage Sims and his son, Ayden. 


Merisa checked out the table
 Joe, Gage and the kids brought fire works for later. We enjoyed hot dogs, bratwurst, and hamburgers with all the fixings, as well as watermelon, pasta salad and baked beans.There were a couple of small tomatoes from the garden, but we had to make do with ones from the grocery for most of the burgers. There were some cupcakes as well.  We didn't go hungry.

Leon kept an eye on the firepit
Ayden is ready for the fire works
Ayden was happy to eat, but the promise of fireworks was always on his mind. He got his wish at dusk when the guys started the fire works.
