This morning, Carolyn and I went to the Atwater 4th of July events. We thought we left early enough to find a good parking space.
Wrong.
We got there about 8:40 and the park vendors would be set up by 9:00 a.m. We were lucky to find a parking place a long block away from the library. The McWatters family had a large spot saved by the library with chairs. They invited us to sit and rest up before going to the park.
Walking back, the McWatters assured us that they had extra chairs and so we sat there and watched the parade. Kelly was taking pictures for the Winton Times newspaper.
Oh, yeah, I bought that metal rooster with the red comb. Couldn't resist him. He is now guarding my porch.
At 3 o'clock, the Rancho Grande MH park had a party for residents and guests. On the left is Gary, employee and John, manager.
We had fried chicken, baked beans, chili beans, several different salads and desserts. More people came than what is usually there for the monthly potlucks.
It was a nice day.
I took a few more pictures, but decided not to post them here. Not sure if the people would like that.
