After the never-to-be-forgotten Fourth of July experience pictured in the last post, Elon's family, ours and Iva's went to a park to visit for a few minutes. Iva had brought strawberries, blueberries, and star-chaped cuts of rice crispy cookies to make edible sparklers for the children--the kind that is not outlawed this year!
Amaris is holding three "sparklers" against her cute patriotic jumper--a goodwill treasure. It says, "God Bless America" on the front.
No sooner did we take this picture than a green fire truck pulled into our street and slowed right by our vehicles. On impulse, not having any cookies left, Amaris quickly handed her three edible sparklers, intended for the children, to the firemen! Then, much to our surprise, the three firemen inside climbed out!
"Do the children want a picture with the firetruck?" the driver asked. Did they!
So we got some pictures, and the firemen asked about the nearest Pizza Hut. "My men have been eating dried chicken and other such things for days," the driver said. "We wanted to go to Pizza Hut tonight!" Jonathan told him where to find Pizza Hut, and Anita started to sing, "God Bless America." The firemen drove off waving, to the strains of our three families singing.
Now Elon is doing what he likes to do--trying to help out. Something was wrong with Iva's van lights, so Elon and Jonathan are trying to figure out what is wrong.
